Genuine "Bull" Durham

Old (or maybe reproduction?) Bull Durham tobacco sign along the tracks in downtown Durham, North Carolina. I wonder how some would interpret “Roll Your Own” now! The photo was taken in December of 2015 with a Minolta X-570 35 mm SLR equipped with a 135 mm f/2.8 Minolta MD lens on Ilford FP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 50 mm f/2.8 Schneider Componon-S lens on Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing agent, and washed in an archival washer.
