Description
Original vintage black-and-white institutional/PR photograph tied to Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Upton, New York. The reverse shows a clear BROOKHAVEN … PHOTOGRAPHY DIVISION stamp and the internal file/negative reference 4-672-78, dating this piece to 1978 and giving it strong archival provenance.
