Message:: [QUOTE="Jerry Coker, post: 10238040, member: 18802"]I was wondering if there are any photo experts here that can clarify the differences between the Typ1, Type 2, etc. photo designations? Below are a couple examples with questions. The first photo below came with documentation which clearly dates the photo (code #1198, Landis/Costello) as originally taken in 1928, and then re-published in this example in 1946. Would that then make this 1946 photo a Type 2? The next photo (Hedy Lamarr) came with no documentation and is dated at the bottom as 1946, the year the film was released. Would that then make the Lamarr photo a Type 1? What is confusing to me in this example is that both of these photo I believe were promos, perhaps sent to theaters and elsewhere, and mass produced. Would that disqualify them both as Type 1 or Type 2 photos, even though they both might be from the original negative? Or does it even matter that the photos were re-produced en mass to the public or elsewhere when determining the Type designation (1,2,3, etc.). Thus as long as these photos were produced from the original negative, which in both of these examples appears to be the case due to their clarity, than they can be designated as a Type 1 or Type 2? All the photos are blank backed BTW. Thank you for any insights. [ATTACH=full]512238[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]512239[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]512240[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
