Black-and-white photographic images of a woman set within 2 fields on a long piece of glass; top portion shows a bust shot of a young woman staring at the viewer, set within a church window-shaped border; around this photo and within the border is a rainbow-colored background and silhouettes of trees, though the holographic aspects are hard to view clearly; underneath is a small rectangular field containing a close-up of a woman's face, from mouth to eyes, seemingly from the same photo as above; vague rainbow-colored holograms can also be seen around and within this region.


Please note that due to the unique challenges of holography as a medium, high-resolution digital images are not available for most items in the holography collection. Please contact us for more information on reproducing images of holograms.
