A polaroid copy camera was used to make a 4 x 5 negative of the original photo with the autograph. The image I posted is a first generation photo from that negative. So it went from a 1934 original 7 x 9 photo to a 4 x 5 negative back to a photo.

My dad ran the advertising photo department at a newspaper. He was able to make 4 x 5 negatives from some rare photos we had. The negatives created high quality second generation photos. Just another reason why you can't always rely on just a scan to determine the age of a photo.
