Digital Mona Lisa

I possess a computer generated rendition of the Mona Lisa circa 1964. It is on sepiatone paper and measures approx. 30"x20". The graphic was produced at Control Data Labs, in Burlington, Mass.(since closed). The image was transposed from a photo to digital through a scanning device(probably state of the art for the period). Numerals 0-9 make up the actual image. The detail is excellent. Through my research I have determined, only 20 were made. Also the Computer Museum in Boston has one. If anyone has any information on this historic piece or direction to that information please email kyj...@prodigy.com(Andy Patros).
