If you Xerox a memo and then Xerox the copy, the clarity is reduced with each successive copy. The same is true for photographs. You also have another effect, which is increasing contrast--the middle tones start to disappear and become increasingly white or black. You can see that in the Marquard image. I once owned a vintage print of this image, and the clarity and tonal range was astounding. George Grantham Bain, by the way, very frequently copied the images of photographers who were not employed by his agency.
