Criminy. I was ready to post some enlargements until I read this.
No offense taken, ER. I had not realized my posts were goofy, since I have not had an issue viewing seamless enlargements, occasionally using the toggle approach. I think Albany is on to something but not necessarily a browser change*. Looking at your reposted example, in my normal screen I see four disjointed images. Toggle-zoom, in Firefox or IE, and the images come together, although there is a slight seam. Returning to my so-called original, it looks fine - ahem - to me. Obviously there is an incompatibility issue for those of us attempting to rediscover images from the original site and share the finds here.
“Screen capture” seems workable enough yet I have had my share of hiccups trying to assemble highly magnified images. I am afraid to suggest this but maybe it is just a simple case of not having an enormous monitor and/or major league video processing hardware, because, in my experience, different computers yield different results. To test my theory, find an image on the SC site and enlarge it to the max using the site's zoom feature. Then try viewing the super-enlarged image by zooming out as far as you can using your computer. You may find that the site's enlarged image exceeds your computer's screen resolution capability. It does on mine. This may be the reason some can simply capture highly magnified images and other’s can’t.
I submit the capture-posting problems are transitory and will be corrected as technology moves forward. I also think there will come a time when we all wish the images were much much larger. In the meantime, I like the idea of posting the original image, even in its microscopic size, along with any enlargements. If someone is unable to view the zoomed image, they might try independently translating and then reposting it.
Sadly, many of the original images from
the source site have disappeared since
its transition a few months ago. Trying to find these seemingly familiar pictures can be even more vexing than finding an improved larger version and being unable to share the discovery . . . . .

Curiously, at least one source links Dempsey with Saugus, so perhaps this is more than just wishful thinking?
