Removing Ink From Vintage Press Photo

Is the ink the giant arrow? I think it’s pretty sharp the way it is right now IMO…..

I wouldn't risk it personally, black ink often smears when trying to remove from photos, plus it looks pretty cool now

Yes, it's the giant arrow. This a 1934 copy originating from the Detroit Free Press. I have a copy of the local newspaper from 1968 when Bridges passed away that features the image, but they state they no longer have the original copy.

OK. I thought you added the giant arrow to point to some ink.

Yeah, looks like that might be impossible to remove unless you paid big, big bucks.
