I have to agree with Phil again here.
David: Why don't we shift the burden of proof and ask what makes this an 1894 photograph?
The size of the photograph and its relationship to the 1894 Betz cabinet are enough to raise major flags for me. Also note that the auction description is vaguely, yet carefully, worded.
This is not a modern reproduction or some kind of fake, but is is not the original cabinet photo from 1894.
Best,
Charles
