With your excellent scans now though, I'll be able to make one and share it. Thanks!

There not bad from a blind man!!

Would you prefer both pages as an overlap? as I cropped and sized these to tidy them up

[Peloton25]

No - I have already started on it and it should be fine as is. The gap down the middle is less than 10 pixels - lines up perfectly with a slight north/south adjustment, and I was able to rotate it first to set the horizon flat. It shouldn't be too difficult to stitch up - thanks though.

Well, everyone can have a poster now.

Here's my completed effort - in addition to simply stitching the pages together as was the original plan, I also spent quite a bit of time removing some of the printing artifacts which were all over the pages, and I cleaned up some of the areas where the ink had been slightly worn away from the pages rubbing together. I consider it 'photo sanitization'.

In the end, well, I think it looks fantastic!!

Don't fret about that 'large' size though, because my working copy was ultra-high resolution just like Le Man's original scans. Final version is 2x the size of what is offered above, at 3260x1970. At 72dpi if you printed it, you'd have something 45"x27" - or double the dpi and it still prints at 22.5"x13.5".

I didn't want my Photobucket account getting dinged everytime someone grabs the 'original', so you have to get it here.

Enjoy!
