Only one bidder on this. Was this a later reprint, or a period reproduction as stated by the seller? The glossy look deterred me, but perhaps it was just poor photography. Thoughts?

These prints, made by Capital and Clogau (sic?), were later prints of original Shutz studio (Washington D.C.) photos from the 20s. I would guess them to have been made in the 50s or 60s, and probably from the original glass negatives. They are therefore sharp, but also glossy and more black and white than the originals. They're nice, but should command a fraction of the value of a vintage Type I photo.

If you enlarge the third picture it has a stamp that says reorder from historical division.
