The other W600 pose

[Bicem]

Nice pose, any idea who the photographer was?

I have always heard that Carl Horner took many of the photographs for the W600 set, but cannot confirm that.

Many of his photos were used for sure, but the Bender is not Horner.

I am sure you are correct but the Horner photo's do look similar. Then again I guess his portraits WOULD look similar

for comparison.....This is from my 1903 Horner Composite...

Horner took the photo used on the W600 in uniform so it(the image) dates to 1903 or so. The Suit pose on the W600 and the Lincoln PC appears to be a younger Bender, however the PC is a 1906/07 issue. Yet another quandry is that the Horner uniform W600 is on a later mount than the Suit pose. Anyone confused yet

I have no idea who might have taken the image.

I once owned a Sporting News Premium of the A's that used the same images as the Lincoln Pubs, it was from 1902 if I recall correctly.

Did a little research this afternoon and I believe the photographer of the Bender (and all the LP's) was MacIntire Studios of Philadelphia. Think they all came from the same photo session, here's the original photo of Mack...

Sorry to go OT, just thought it was interesting.
