50's Press Photo - looking for some guidance / opinions
Hey guys,
Mostly a BST and reader member here. I recently took a bit of a chance on a minor league photo of Roy Campanella. I thought I had overpaid until I held it to a light source and noticed that paint/marker had been used to blot out his uniform and cap. Plain as day the Nashua team logo on the jersey and cap show through. This had me very excited and at the surface it would appear I may be able to remove the paint/marker from the photo. I do not know a lot about photos but have always wanted an early and unique Campanella. The photo paper is glossy and is definitely of the period. Would I be able to use a solvent or is there something anyone would recommend in my attempt to remove the paint/marker from the photo? Lastly and more selfishly, how does one determine if this is a type 1 photo? I've attached scans and would value any opinion. Thanks, -jake BEFORE AFTER Last edited by bigjaco; 12-15-2012 at 06:42 AM. |
