- Support – Though I'm wondering just a bit if we need all that blank backdrop over subject's head. – Sca (talk) 13:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- It's a common feature in photos of the era. We could do it, but it'd mean losing the border as well - can't have half a border, which does mean cutting the signature, etc. There's a link on the file description page to a squared-off version if you want to play with it.

- I think I read somewhere that when she arrived at Dron's studio he asked her to stand on a milk crate so that she would fill the whole frame, but she wouldn't do it because she felt it would be undignified. Choliamb (talk) 00:06, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
