Rec'd this sweet old image from Jason W, Thanks Jason. IMO, there's no question that this thin-paper photo, with silvering, foxing, age spots and feel, closely resembles the original old shot of the USS Maine surveyors photo I have ca1898.

The one thing that concerns me a tad, is the size of the paper and large white bordering. I'm leaning towards a photograph of a photograph myself. Okay, so what is the origin of this image. If there was ever another copy, it'd be found in these environs. grazie!
