Question re Mathewson photo

[rholmes]

Has anyone ever seen this 1904 Christy Mathewson image before, e.g. publication use, newspaper use, etc? I've looked for a while, everywhere I can think to look and have yet to find it anywhere---which is unusual for a Mathewson photo. This one has Brown Bros. stamps (sorry for the poor quality pic. The photo is large, over 8 x 12, and won't fit in my scanner):



Back in 2004 Heritage sold a relatively small (3 x 4) example of the photo with a Paul Thompson stamp and misidentified as a 1909 image:



Thx

What does the stamp look like on the large photo?

Yeah, I'm fairly certain it's Type 1 based on paper, emulsion, and image clarity relative to the size of the print.

What I'm really wondering/asking is if anyone has seen this particular image before...

I haven't seen it with the exception of spotting it on Heritage... but I'll keep an eye out.
