The photo was sold by his greatgrandaughter to the individual I obtained it from. She kept a photo copy of the photo for the family. She confrmed that she indeed sold it to the collector I purchased it from and even identified her mothers handwriting on the photo. I have the largest collection of sports photography in private hands...2.4 million images. I have hundereds of vintage photos that are identified right on the front. Its not common but certainly happens. Chadwicks granddaughter, who passed in 1978 wrote on most of the Chadwick items. n the 60's or 70's, this photo had no value.She would simply write "Henry Chadwick" or "H. Chadwick" on many items, cabinets, letters, scrapbooks, etc. Wy she did this? So generations in the future would know who he was.
