We present the historic light curve of 1WGA J0447.9-0322, spanning the time interval from 1962 to 1991, built using the Asiago archive plates. The source shows small fluctuations of about 0.3 mag around B=16 until 1986 and a fast dimming of its average level by about 0.5 mag after that date, again with small short-term variations. The variability pattern is within the values shown by other QSOs with long-term monitoring, notwithstanding its high X-ray/optical ratio. We also present its overall spectral energy distribution using literature data and recent UV-optical Swift observations.
