Julie Vognarand white absolutely nuts? I assumed so, but just thought I would check it out. I think he had sepia confused with toning.
2) The Oakland Museum has little curtains in front of all their albumen prints, because they believe that ALL albumen prints basically never stop developing. I have heard that this is true ONLY if the albumen print (OJs are albumen prints) were not properly "stopped" and "fixed." Which is true (I keep all my photos in the dark, anyway, including OJs)? I have a Duffy holding a bat--and the bat itself disappeasred AFTER I traded for it...
Just checking: all OJs are interior shots--ground and scenery were supplied by curtains. There were no "flash" bulbs--all light was bright and constant. Although there was no stop-action photography, one didn't have to hold absolutely still (check out Whitney's dog). It's only when the cards simulate action (guy seems to be catching a ball--ball is actually on a string. Guy tags another guy--both guys actually holding still) that the positioning looks awkward. Nice of Radbourne not to blink...
Batless (almost) Duffy he arrived holding one...
Gil: When I bought the card from Jay, I asked if I were paying extra for the weird cut, and he said no, it would be more expensive if it were well cut. But I do like the revealing lines aroubnd the picture.
