That depends on which print of the photo you are referring to.
1st Generation = a print produced directly from the
original negative
2nd Generation = a print produced from a
duplicate negative
Both 1st and 2nd generation prints may exist for any given image, the "Ruth's eyes" photo included.
Technically, you could produce a "1st Generation" print of the "Ruth's eyes" photo
today if you had the original negative to work with (presumably the original negative is in the Conlon Collection presently owned by John Rogers, though I haven't checked to confirm).
