help with Walter Johnson photo?
I recently acquired this photo of Walter Johnson, and pencil notation puts the date of the actual photo around 1924. I have seen many similar images of him around the same date.
Here's my question: based on the Yee book, the Acme stamp suggests that the photo was printed in the latter half of the 30s, although the NEA stamp dates it to 1941. So based on this information, it is either a Type II printed over 10 years after it was taken or a second generation photo made from a duplicate negative. Is there any way to tell? The photo clarity is a bit better than the scans, but the image could be sharper, suggesting it could be the latter.
Either way, it's okay, I am just trying to educate myself on photos as I am somewhat of a novice--and I paid very little for it and like it nonetheless.
Thanks much, Brian
