A lot of the letters and lines on the jerseys and caps were not in the original photos, and were added on later by the artists or printers. This might explain how things ended up looking odd. As you can see, the 'Pittsburgh' appears on Wagner's jersey in the card but not the original photo.
The portraits were based on photos by Carl Horner, and the T206 portraits are colored ('colorized') Horner images. Many of the other cards look like they would have been based on color sketches or paintings, as they clearly aren't photo realistic. I've never seen original T206 sketches or paintings, but any original non-photo art from before WWI is very rare. Last edited by drc; 12-08-2009 at 11:02 PM.
