Message:: [QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9617963, member: 10944"]you’ve made good points. Actually maybe it’s not even on photo paper. I’ve not taken it out of the frame. It’s still on a backer as well. You’re probably correct that it’s not the only copy that ever existed. I was more thinking that it was potentially taken by a small time or private photographer and that even if there had been multiple copies at one point that maybe it was the only remaining copy of the image rather than the only copy that ever existed. Since it’s not a great straight on photo of him, not a commanding pose, likely not an important event or moment, maybe the image was little known or unknown in it’s time to all but the photographer and maybe his/her immediate circle. Possibly it sat upon their wall with pride until they passed and then the family forgot who was even in the photo and it got donated to the thrift store I obtained it from. This idea was based more on fantasy than fact. Here’s some photos of the frame. It looks first quarter 20th century to me, but what do I know.
