Exactly.. HOWEVER... to Scott's point, I have see the captions cut off on almost all wire photos(group) from an archive and sold by certain sellers as originals. This happens...
I am with Rhys in that pre-ww1 photos.. most are without borders for several reasons(not taken off recently).
How many bains do you see with borders?? Not many huh??
