Default Help with 1916 Ruth Photo

Hi All,

I was wondering if I could get some photo help with this Ruth that I just picked up. I've already have talk to Forever Young offline about this photo (good talking with you Ben and thanks for all of your help and knowledge).

I do know its older than 1955 as I ran it under a black light and as you can see its doesn't glow. I am also sending it to PSA to see if I can get this certified as what type of photo it is. As it was glued to this board the photo was unhinged but pretty unharmed in shipping so I was able to see the back of the photo as well. To my untrained eye it looks a lot like a silver gelatin with more gloss than I have seen on a photo and seems on better quality paper. But that is why I'm sending to PSA to see. I also could be wrong on the year I'm just sort of guessing at that.

My question is does anyone know who the photographer was? It's a very interesting and cool piece so help on any aspect of it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad
