Low resolution?

This is a low resolution image which could not be reproduced to a high quality for financial gain.

Purpose of use

To illustrate an article that discusses this very corpse.

Replaceable?

This is a unique historical image of the corpse in its original burial, from which it was removed during the 1930s. In the 1940s, the skeleton was destroyed during the London Blitz, so no contemporary photograph could be produced.
