New to exploring the world of photographs. Anyone want to help me distinguish between the different categories? (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, etc.)
From my understanding, you can tell them apart by looking at:
- Picture quality / texture
- Notations on the back
- Paper quality/thickness
And from what I can tell:
Type 1 and 2 are printed from the original negative that the photographer took, with Type 2 being a printing done years later. Type 3 & 4 deal with duplicate negatives and often wire transmissions.
If the above summary is correct, and suggestions on which category the photo below falls into? The original negative would have been shot 12/27/13, and the printed newspaper use would have been the first week of 1/14. From my understanding, this is before the use of wire transmissions.
