 This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: slight sharpen (but it's a lithograph, so it shouldn't be too sharp!), tilt correction, levels adjustment, slight desaturation to make up for the levels adjustment making it very yellow..
