Workers Monthly hi resolution (600 dpi) 8 bit gray scale scans and 1 bit black and 
white scans:



single page scans of art and photos and cartoons:



Because Workers Monthly is one of the more important and well-known left magazines 
of the period, and because my "distribution / research grade" scans compromised 
some of the graphic and photographic images in the interests of keeping file size 
compact, I  selectively scanned all photos and most charcoal sketches using 600  
dpi gray scale setting.   And selectively scanned most (nearly all)  line 
drawings, block prints, and charcoal sketches using 600 dpi single bit black and 
white setting.



This rendered all photos (some of which were rendered quite well  (some of which 
were rendered poorly in the compact, "distribution" scans).  It also provided 
higher quality images of the charcoal sketches, facilitating later printing these 
out to sharper images.  







2 page centerfold images:



Most (13 out of 14, if I recall correctly) of the first 14 issues of Workers 
Monthly contained a 2 page spread image (mostly characoal sketches, tho 
occasionally a block print or a photo montage) in the center of the magazine.  
Scans of these are found in  a separate folder, which contains both 600 dpi gray 
scale and 600 dpi single bit black and white scans.   Where the image was a 
characoal sketch, I scanned it both in gray scale and in 600 dpi single bit black 
and white.  Where it was a block print, I scanned it only in 600 dpi single bit 
black and white.  And where it was a photo or photo montage, I used only 600 dpi 
gray scale.  The same rule used for most of the 1 page scans, described above.



The last 14 issues of Workers Monthly did not contain 2 page center of magazine 
images.
