content: Each image has a white border around it. The borders are thicker on the tops and bottoms and thinner on the sides. The border on 2015.132.163.2 is slightly thicker because the image is slightly smaller. The back of 2015.132.163.1 is white. There is an inscription going vertically down the left side in blue ink, handwritten by Bill Adler. The back of 2015.132.163.2 has two Kodak logos repeated in gold. The logos are in diagonal lines and are facing the right side of the paper.
