Faded?
Like a couple of other images in today's set, I'm left wondering
if the sepia look is faded color or a degradation of a black and white.
Looking at the guy who looks a bit like Patrick Swayzee with arm on fridge, I did some poking here and there with Photoshop, and the hue was within 30° left and right of white. So not much variation in colour.
Did some digging and found this: When was black and white film introduced for Polaroid? 1950 These first film prints were in sepia-tone, followed by black-and-white prints in 1950 So looks like this was early Polaroid with the sepia colour.

I have not seen this one but I have the one below titled "Reader" and it is in black and white oddly enough. Photo shopping maybe?
