Here is an example of an 1889 script card that isn’t the easiest to read. If this card didn’t possess a strong photo with good contrast, it would be hard to make out “Hoffman”. Goodwin would also issue this same pose in 1889 with a block text name panel perhaps after realizing the script was too difficult to read.
