Sadly the image is not as pristine as I'd want but beggars can't be choosers.
On newspaperarchives.com, when you search for this photo, it looks like it was reprinted again on September 22, 1917. From the preview in the search results (bleow) it looks like the 1917 reprint is much better quality than the 1915 version. Unfortunately, when you go to the full size view, the photo is missing from the scan. This begs the question: Is the microfilm from which the preview scan made still available. If so, maybe a much higher quality scan of the photo could be obtained.
