>> Henry's granddaughter is believed to be the one who wrote his name on the photo

Why would she do that? I would never write my grandfather's name on a vintage family photo since we all know who he is. If I was concerned about the next generation knowing who he was, I would write it on the back. If he was famous and I wanted to perhaps sell it, I would not spoil the photo by writing his name on the front, especially if I expected no question as to his identity.

>> The photo came to the market directly from his great grandaughter.

What do you mean by "came to market"? when? was there an auction?
