Old Mars photo?

[NightCal]

I'm putting together some display boards for my local astronomical society and I'm currently working on the board about Mars. One of the captions is about imaging Mars and I'd like to have a picture of Mars taken with film and a comparison picture of a modern webcam image.

I'm sure I remember seeing an old picture of Mars taken through something like the Hale telescope or somewhere similar with film, but can I find it now? - Nope. Can anyone help?

Sorry Michael
I did a brief search and came up with nothing!
Surely there are old film images on the net?

Found some really old ones that have been reprocessed by modern means

Here's one taken with the 60 inch reflector at Mount Wilson. Sorry about the quality the scanned picture is over 1 megabyte

NightCal don't forget your mars photo

Thanks guys. The idea of using photos from Mount Wilson was great. I have used a comparison of one of Damian Peach's images to show the difference in the quality that can now be achieved.

Thanks again.
