Default 1911 picture

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Sure the cards could very well be repros; but, I think they are 1909-1911 originals. The crude
overhead lighting shown in the 2nd photo tells us it is an early 20th Century depiction.

It is a classic gas-lit fixture that was converted to electric lighting. The light bulb is an early
incandescent type. This type of stuff is not easily faked, nowadays.

Great couple of photos, thanks for sharing them with us.
