As I mentioned on the other board, the photo was found just a little over an hour east of me, and I've passed through that town hundreds of times. But there was no way to know such a photo existed.

It's historically very significant, but I'm not sure it will sell for a great deal of money. It's a bunch of middle aged men in suits, none of whom are recognizable even to the average baseball historian. Great find, not visually arresting.

And salt prints were typically enhanced, or colored as Rob mentioned. The surface was such that paint easily adhered, so it became a common practice.
