Hello,  

well, the text surely looks more clear under highlight - but what is peculiar is the spot bellow the big rectangle, on the flower. While it has similar texture of the "noise" as the main rectangle, it does not look like some protective foil or graphically introduced "highlight", but simply as a drop of some liquid. tehre is a lot of additional marks by later tratment? Too bad we do not have the color copy. There are also some   perfectly linear scratches at the bottom, were they  drawn by author or how could they possibly get there (they do not look like fold) ? 

By the way, silly question: why didn't Beinecke provide color copies of all folios?   I bet most researchers would appreciate that.
