Clarification: One of the creases is in the upper-right corner of the photograph (through the tree) and mount. It is clearly visible in the photographs of the front and back of the card. The second crease is smaller and is directly above the skinny man\'s head; there is a break in the photo paper, but it does not go through to the mount; see photos.
