It is a crappy copy of my original type 1 example. It is Eliot with fake date stamp on the back.
The image is not even 1916...it's later. Ridiculous.

Hi Ben, great photo!
I quit showing my photo's anywhere because of what is on ebay. I had one copied and they are selling copies for 4-5 bucks on ebay today. When I complained I was told there was nothing to be done. I still think it is sad that
people buy these particularly at that price thinking they have something old.

Yeesh, that looks like it was made by Xerox. I like that when I went to the listing another cheap modern reprint showed at the bottom with the "other similar items" header though :D

Yes.. eBay software is so smart it tries to get you to buy fakes of the same image. Yikes!

Sandy... It's sad. People selling horrible copies at 5-10 bucks do it all day long with no accountability.
