Thanks for resurrecting this thread Gary, I enjoyed reading through it. This was one of my favorite finds. As I recall, I bought this as a display piece, and planned to sell it as a display piece. And then one day I had a eureka moment, and it hit me that this wasn't actually a mammoth photo but a composite of eleven individual CdV's. I hated to see it broken up, but it was clear to me that that was where it was headed.
The Ryan on BST was the first one I've seen for sale in many years. And of course the highlight of the group was Al Spalding. There are plenty of photos of both Wrights and O'Rourke, but individual photos of Spalding are very scarce.
