Johnny Evers photo type question
3 Attachment(s)
I picked up this beautiful Bain shot 1909 Johnny Evers photo and was wanting to get thoughts on wether it is a type 1 or type 2. I've seen a wider version of the same shot that has the Bain writing on the top. When I zoom in on that one it appears a little lighter than this one. However this one feels like other type 1s from the period.
I've read that Sy Seidman retook a bunch of photos in the 60s but I've read that those have his name on back. This does not. The back mentions Culvers but has a lot of tape on it covering up much of the original back. Thanks for the assistance :) Attachment 413339 Attachment 413340 Attachment 413341 |
Looking for opinions, thanks

Sean, I was a photo collector before type 1 terminology etc and I can tell you that I saw many original Bains with a similar back and stamping. I no longer have any or I would post them. It looks like a very nice image and does not appear to me to be a more modern copy, certainly not from the 60’s. For what it is worth.

If you have photos from the period and it's consistant, I assume you're okay. The paper should be pretty thin
That the image is cropped a different since, including smaller, isn't an issue. Photographers cropped images from the negative in various ways. |
