Cousin Val sent this scan and I asked her to mail me the 2.71 inches wide x 2.02 inches original to scan here.

1939 circa, London: Freda Bialick, Isaac Bialick, Rachael Greenbaum Bialick, Betsy Waldman (my father's sister); Front: Lillian Bialick, Jean (Johnny) Waldman. Valerie Kent collection, UK.

280 x 209 Val's scan	280 x 209 reduced from my 6491 x 4844	140 x 105 reduced from my 6491 x 4844	70 x 53 reduced from my 6491 x 4844
It appears that image quality is not merely a matter of resolution. The fidelity of the scan, itself, is a factor. The 280 x 209 of my scan has substantially more detail than Val's scan, and the 140 x 105 version does as well.
