Note that this still shows a RARE image from the deleted "bee-hive" scene. In the scene, the Wicked Witch causes a swarm of bees to fly out of the Tin-Man, but they can't sting him and leave, except for one on Dorothy's arm which the Tin-Man accidentally kills when grabbing it. The scene was cut after previews and the animated bees were never created/finished. * If you look close you can see the animated Bees on Jack Haley's (The Tinman) arm.
Apparently the still was used in a newspaper or magazine, because there are a few dabs of paint on the still, but not near the faces of the stars.
As a matter of fact, the Only place we have ever seen this photo is in Doug McClelland's book, "Down the Yellow Brick Road", so this may be the actual photo used in the book, which explains the editorial markings. Photo has some light creases. Also has several copyright labels on back
