PaulI recently picked this up from a board member. It measures about 5 3/8" x 6 3/8". I believe the photo is the same as the M101-1 Sporting News. Engraved on the photo is the name Chickering, along with a copyright date of 1899. The mount is thick, but the gray color on the mount is just a thin layer of gray paper that has been glued to the thicker mount. The bottom of the photo was cut pretty irregularly before being attached to the mount.
I know Chickering made a famous series of cabinet photos, but this obviously isn't one of them. Anyone know what it is? Anyone seen one before?
