Ribbens,

Original photos will have a press stamp on the back. In 1927, a news caption would be found pasted on the back as well. Wire photos started about 1935, news captions could be found on the front of these photos, but still have a press stamp on the back.
To me, it appears you have a copy of a 1927 photo, taken some time 1935 or later. I am not the expert as many on this board, if I am wrong, I am sure they will correct me.
Not much value in copies of earlier photos, sorry to give you bad news.
