This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “Title corrected from OCR 'IORTRATT' to 'PORTRAIT'. Original number '© 11864' interpreted as L11864 based on context (Loew's/MGM renewals). Renewal claimant from preceding record, typical for MGM renewals.”
