<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3921795, member: 33"]Not sure, but think there are a lot of Civil War photo collectors out there. I suppose it has some value, but the main worth would be in the eye of the beholder. I would recommend seeing if you can find comparables. This is not quite the same as a reprint, but is similar in concept. I see photographic copies of photos (photographs of photographs, or <b>photograph copies</b> as yours puts it) being sold on eBay, but often they are not identified as such. Or at least they are not considered reprints, because that term implies a different kind of reproduction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, to answer your question -- I don't think it is merely decorative, but of course is a lot less valuable than an original photo printed by Gardner, or taken from his negative, would be.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
