It's positively original. It has the reflective type look when you angle it and it's very very thin old paper.

I would be much more thrilled if it wasn't glued to the black paper behind it. A thin line of glue about 4" wide maybe 2" from the top. There are also 2 small wrinkles on the left side.

The seller is a consignment seller; I'm thinking somebody didn't know what they had, didn't tell him what they had, and he didn't do his homework.

Before I bid, I searched for the photo and only found one other. The copyright stamp was in a different location so I hoped I was ok. Turned out I got lucky.
Awesome, that is quite an image. Since you have said you got it, obviously I didn't. I watched that auction everyday, and just couldn't decide to make a bid. When I say I am a rookie in the photo dept., I mean it. I just don't know enough, and am trying to learn what to look for. Thanks for commenting.
