Unless there is something I don't know they should have labeled it E90-1, imo.

I try to use the lowest common denominator on blank backs. Otherwise, I don't know what they were thinking.

E90's don't have the blue shadow behind him, e92's do, as does Leon's blank back

Great spotting Marc...it is always neat when unnoticed variations like these pop up, and always surprising they haven't been noted before. My E90-1 Miller has no sunset/shadow, while my E101 has both.

Also, his feet are much bigger on the E90-1 as compared to the other cards.

That is a nice catch, there are also mountains in the E90, so that eliminates them but the other issues are all possibilities.

Also looks like the E 90-1 shoes are white/grey while the others are shaded brown.

Thanks to the OP for bringing attention to the variation(s) in this pose.

Interesting...the huggins and scott auction has a lot of misc prewar that contains a rare red keeler portrait e90-1 as well as 3 Miller fielding e90-1 cards...all with sunsets. Perhaps the millers w/sunsets were a later run?

This thread made me realize how nice looking this card is so I just picked one up.

Peter,
That's an interesting point and would be a good explanation as to why it seems the sunset variation of the E90-1 is a lot less prevalent. I have been searching quite a bit and have only found scans of three of them with the sunset that I was able to confirm as E90-1's. On the other hand, I've noted 50+ of the non-sunset version.

That may also be a clue as to the timing of the printing of the other sets which contain this pose and apparently ALL feature only the sunset version.
