The fact that this has a file retrieval number (INP 312591) on it is the first clue it is not a period photo. When UPI reprinted photos from their archives they hand wrote the file number on the back. They also usually add subject information. Occasionally, though not always, there will be either a photocopy or an original caption sheet attached to the back. I have some of each in my archives. Another clue can be the size of the image. Pre WWII most press photos were 6x8 or 7x9. The 8x10 size is mainly post WWII and is actually an incorrect ratio to print a full frame photo from a 35mm negative or transparency.
