Yep, that's it. Pretty cool.
It's a pretty rough screen, so I'm thinking it's from something like a local program or newspaper, something that didn't have super high production values. (Newspapers are difficult, some were done this way, some with rubber "plates" - some are screened roughly like this, others have excellent quality photos. It's most likely a technology vs budget sort of thing.
