Tobacco company Photographers

Joe- two thoughts: 1) are you saying that an uncut sheet and an imperial cabinet are one and the same? They are roughly the same size but I'm not sure of the importance of the semantics; 2) not only do I agree with Jay that a cigarette company wouldn't take their own photographs, but it is even possible that after the photographers laid out the uncut sheets they farmed them out to someone who could cut them. What would a photographic studio be doing with a cutting machine that could slice a large photograph into 24 equal parts? I doubt they kept those lying around. Of course, I am just speculating. P.S.- the best article ever done on how these photos were cropped and cut was by Jay and Joe about the N172 minis.
