Default Anyone aware of method of manufacture of orig T206s, Obaks, and E cards?

I got lucky and found the photo used to make the e95 Wagner. Feeling that I had to use it for something, I've decided to create a new web-page.

Since I'm not nearly as familiar with e-cards as t-cards, I might post some photos on the web and ask y'all to tell me what e-cards might have been created from them.

I'm glad Dan brought this thread "back to life". It's been pointed out to me that some of the t206's might actually just be line drawings that aren't based on a photographic image at all - Elmer Flick was the example given. As David mentioned, some were actually created from colored b&w photos - great examples are most of the portraits: Weimer, Cy Young, Art Devlin are a few of the best.

I would love to see the original photo used for the t206 Speaker - same one was used for the T3 and one of his red-and-blue strip cards (w515 I think). Another one that I can't locate is the Mathewson portrait (c'mon Dan, get to work!)
