Unless I am mistaken, 35mm film has always had sprocket holes on either edge. The neg in the picture is lacking these. You will note, the print from the neg is cropped at the very place that the big trouble spot occurs on the photographed negative. the area begind the man and the hoop shapes below him. It was my understanding that HCB was not much for cropping his prints. If we are to believe this, then the negative in the photo must be a copy. Regards, Ben W.
