William Reid Harvard Coach Photo Question

[aelefson]

Thanks guys! The dealer I bought it from actually had the Harvard Athletics book with him and did show me the photos in there. They certainly look like him to me but I am not an expert. The dealer said he had several items from the Reid estate and is fairly certain this photo came with the other items. I have no idea what else he had, but I am glad this photo was saved (he bought the items in the early 1980s and sold the other stuff around the same time). I do trust his memory but I always like to get confirmation. I can post a 600 dpi scan if anyone needs it for facial comparison. Again, he does look very similar to the photos revmoran posted (at least to me).

Hi-
I spoke to the dealer yesterday, and he confirmed he purchased the photo directly from Harvard's archives. He had a friend who worked there and let him know that when the Reid family donated their papers related to William. Harvard had duplicates of this photo, and one of Reid in a baseball uniform, and they actively sold their duplicates during this period. Thanks again for everyone's help.
