10 inch 78 rpm
Since this ain't no museum, my aim is not to depict actually existing specimen of 78 rpm records,

even if this - in some cases - takes a whole lot of my time to photoshop process the initial data

Charley Patton portrait (!)
used as frontispiece of Calt & Wardlow 1988,
bearing the caption "Heavily retouched photo of Charlie Patton dating to c. 1908"
Here's what Gayle Dean Wardlow (aka "TallahatchieTrot"), who found the portrait in 1967, wrote about its discovery at weeniecampbell.com (a few typos corrected by Stefan Wirz):

"Blues Fans-Let me tell you the story behind the portrait. I was talking to Hayes McMullan and Willie Moore in Summer in 1967 and they both said a woman who just died on this plantation has a photo of Patton. I said let's go down to the house and look at it. When I got there the grandaughter had the portrait and it was in two pieces.
I said to Hayes that can't be Charlie. He said 'that's naturally him Mr Wardlow. He looked just like one of those Mexicans when I knew him. He always had a mustache too when I played with him.' The grandaughter said her grandmother dated/married Patton in about 1910 and the photo was taken in Oxford in the hill country and was then made into a portrait. He would have been about 20 when this relationship occurred. He left her and broke her heart and she never married again but kept the portrait til she died.
You will notice that the ears look the same and just below the bottom lip to the chin is the same indentation. I have somewhere on one of the Hayes or Moore tapes one of them declaring it was Patton when he was about 20 to 24 years old as I thought no one will believe this is Patton. It was retouched from a photo to a portrait and the hair doesn't look kinky as a black man has. But Hayes always said Mr Wardlow if that man hadn't had kinky hair he could have passed for white. Also remember Howlin' Wolf has been quoted as saying Patton looked like a Puerto Rician.
It would have been foolish for me to try and pass off a photo of some Italian as Patton. What would I have gained from that. Nothing but criticism. I only wanted to show how he looked in his very early 20s. But Hayes and Mooore both said that's Charlie Patton when he was young."

... and later:
"I have been asked by a few younger blues fans to explain the background of the Patton portrait that first appeared in the 1988 Charley Patton book I authored with Stephen Calt and was bootlegged by Document Records for their Patton releases. I found the portrait--not a photo-on a plantation at Sumner, Miss. in 1967 after Willie Moore and Hayes McMullan both of whom had played with Patton told me a lady on the plantation had just died and she had a picture of Patton. They went with me to see the grandaughter of Lizzie Taylor.
The portrait was done around 1908 to 1910 when Patton was in his early 20s at Oxford in the hill country when she was married to him. It was in two pieces. I had doubts when I saw it that it could be Patton. But Hayes said to me. 'That's naturally Charley Patton. He always wore a mustache when I played with him' and Hayes played with Patton twice in 1929 and 1930. He looked just like one of those Mexicans, Hayes said.
I had doubts that readers of the book would accept the photo as Patton but as there was only one other photo--the 1929 Paramount headshot of Patton-- we printed it in the 1988 book and noted it was a heavily retouched photo. You must look at the ears and forehead and at the indentation in the chin to see the similarities of the 1910 photo and the 1929 one after Patton had 20 years of heavy drinking and living behind him. Also they brushed the hair across without a part or showing his kinky curls and it makes him look like an Italian. Moore's comments to Lizzie Washington when she was alive about the photo being Patton are on the interview tapes at MTSU where she said Patton was her husband and he had the portrait made for her. I can assure you I realized there would be doubt and questions about the portrtait being Patton but I was willing to take that risk. It would have been easier to not even have included it in the book. But I did for blues lovers like you on this forum. I still have the portrait today unrestored."

... and later:
"Thought I would just add this comment. It is a portrait on a piece of what I call cardboard. That I assume is how portraits were done in the early 1900s. It was definitely not a PHOTO but a portrait as I understand what a portrait is. It was broken in two pieces when I got and it is still in 2 pieces. I do not know if a photo was first taken and then the artist/photographer did a portrait from it or how they did portraits in those years. It does not look to be like a painting or a drawing. It certainly looked to be retouched however since they covered up his curly/kinky hair and didn't show it. I will go to my online tapes at MTSU and find the exact place at the end of one of the inerview tapes where I interviewed briefly the daughter of the woman who had the portrait and let you'll listen to her comments about the portrait which all 3 of them--Willie Moore/Hayes McMullan called a picture. The portrait is on cardboard about 1/4 inch thick. The ears/the identation in the chin and the large forehead were the items I found that made it appear to be Patton to me besides Moore/McMullan personally saying it was the Patton they both knew. --that he always had a mustache also when they saw him.
gdw"

... and later:
"There's no way to scan the original portrait. It is two pieces and badly warped. When we used it in the Patton book, I took a photo of the portrait and slid the 2 pieces together and sent the photo to Yazoo records owner Rich Nevins who had the photo of the portrait touched up to take out the crack where the 2 pieces joined. It IS NOT a drawing but a portrait that must have come from a photo whereas today if you have a photo taken they will touch up the photo to make it look better. Until I can find a professional restorer to flatten and glue the pieces back together there is no way to put it under a scanner. It is warped at least one inch in a curve and was found that way as the original frame it was in had been busted and it was simply sitting on a mantle in the heat and winter of an unheated sharecropper house and actually been broken in to two pieces across the lower jaws, I'm only glad I was able to save it as it was before it was totally destroyed. Several pieces of it around the face were already gone. There is noone in the Pensacola, Fla area where I live who restores old potraits. I plan to donate it to a blues museum eventually and will let them pay the costs of restoration. But again it is not a drawing or a painting by an artist but a portrait like you see of someone's grandparents from the early 1900s that you will see in frames in antique stores. Thanks for the enquiry anyways."
