I agree that the type number shouldn't matter on value or beauty of the piece, my question was purely a question of semantics not on value.
I had picked up a picture of Mel Blanc with Bugs Bunny. This is a composite. It was labeled 1, but a Rhys so I don't question it. I assumed it being a type 1 came from most of the composite being the first time it was photographed with only Mel's face being from an older photo. I just like the image and new the composite itself was original. It wouldn't have mattered to me if it was labeled 1st generation or 2nd generation. I was just curious how most people would label a composite.
