Default 2 Postcard questions

JC--

You have several HM Taylor cards with Fred G. Wright listed as the photographer.

In this instance, since your new Donovan card is sepia (as opposed to black & white) and is "copyrighted" by Wright, unless another publisher is listed on the reverse it sure appears that Wright issued his own postcards.

Of course, it's possible that Wright's photo was merely "copyrighted" and used by an anonymous publisher (much the way the Burk & Attwell photos were used on various issues by Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia publishers).

I knew Frank couldn't resist this one, seeing as he had the uncataloged HM Taylor Donovan PC, too.

BTW, here's a link to a bunch of the HM Taylor cards, including both Donovans:

Of course, JC, you could also just look at your own site for the Wright credit lines!

Now, if someone has the HM Taylor PC of Crawford batting, entitled "Ready For The Ball," let me know...it's the final card I need.
