Sadly, we will never again be likely to have the opportunity to take such a photo.

Actually, he was probably buried in a suit, so yeah, we could technically take another picture of it, but like, we'd have to have a really good reason, ya know? We couldn't just go digging him up just for the photo I wouldn't think.

He's been dead for half a century though, I don't think his belt looks so good anymore.

So, really, you're asking: when does a buried belt stop being a belt? Interesting...

Don't worry, just give it some more centuries and it'll count as archeology instead of grave robbing/defilement/whatever
