Joe--The second question is one that I don't believe anyone knows the answer to. I would be amazed if Goodwin & Co., a cigarette maker, did their own photography but I have never seen any definitive proof of that. Since some of the early companies shared images: Brown's Champs on Lone Jacks and Old Judge, Spotted Ties on S F Hess and Old Judge there could have been one photographer who did the work, possibly for several companies. Which one? Since Goodwin & Co was in New York it would have made sense for it to be a New York photographer---maybe Jos Wood.
