It can't be more than a two layer board, can it?  It seems like a few
close photographs of even a populated Apple 1 board would make it easy
to 'recreate' the artwork.

It's likely that in the era of the Apple 1 they weren't that set on
archiving stuff for historical purposes.  You used to be able to pick up
TONS of great old hardware (S-100 boards and systems, and lots of good
stuff) at Swapmeets when everybody had retired it and all anybody wanted
was a fast '286 motherboard.
