Hi Jason,
This is a photo made from another photo, and not from the original negative... perhaps even a couple generations down.
It is difficult to say without examining the actual photo and the paper, but it was likely printed well after when the original photo was taken. I'm sorry.

I am thinking it is not at all genuine. On the other hand I have never before seen this photo on the market, which at least makes me wonder if there might be something to it beyond cheap knock-off.
Let me know if you have any thoughts. I tried the REA website but they don't seem to go back far enough with their auction results.
Thanks,
