Would they have missed an obvious signature on the front of the photo? Not likely. I hope this is a reasonable explanation. I have looked at thousands upon thousands of press photos in person, right from the newspapers, over the last 25+ years and have never seen a signed photo. They may exist, but I have not seen one.

Of course that makes sense. It could have been missed, but yes, I wouldn't guess it to be too likely.
