DiMaggio Photo Assist Please
 
2 Attachment(s)
Asking if anyone is familiar with both this photo and the stamp on the verso. I'm a little confused if this is an original type 1 photo or a later version. The stamp on the verso states it is original photographic image and belongs to the "Robert Stanley Collection". However, the copyright years reflect several including 1991. Research reveals there was an artist, etc. named Robert Stanley but I can find only limited information about. Hoping someone out there might be able to help. Thanks in advance.

With that stamp, would either be a 1990's type 2 if off original negative or type 4 if not (I can't really tell from the pic)

Not the exact image but definitely taken at the same time.

Don't know anything about the "Robert Stanley Collection" but according to
The Boston Public Library:

Title:Joe DiMaggio signing autographs at Fenway

Description: New York Yankees Joe DiMaggio signing scorecards for a group of young kids at Fenway Park in 1936 during his rookie season.

Photographer: Jones, Leslie, 1886-1967

Date: 1936

Thanks for the responses. Also, many thanks for the photos. I thought the photo pictured DiMaggio in his rookie year but wasn't sure.

What baffles me a little is the stamp which I can't quite figure out. I don't think the print is from 1991 or later, but that wouldn't explain the copyright stamp.

My best guess would be that it was made from original plate, but when is the big question.

Leland's sold this exact photo back in 2006, an enlarged version 16x20.

Maybe I'll just continue down the rabbit hole on Robert Stanley and see where it ends up.

Again, much appreciated.
