Indeed, but there is also a digital image without that. I cannot remember on which occasion I got that, but I temporarily put it You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..

The "gauze or mesh" is on every image AFAIK, more or less visible depending on the direction of light and resolution. I assumed that it is on the paper, a relief produced by the press at production.

The viewer on the Beinecke website makes it nearly invisible but if you download the image, zoom and play with levels, it's there. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Your image is the same but cropped a little.
