picked this up a couple months ago VERY inexpensively...photo is 4x6 in size...
If anyone can give me a sense of when this was reproduced, why and any other pertinent information about the photo, I'd be very appreciative...Matt

Matt,
Reproduction or not, that photo's an absolute winner. Congrats! Graig

Why: Chase had retired before Burke began photographing players in 1929. In what I can only assume was an attempt to create a complete catalog of baseball player images, Burke would run ads in The Sporting News (and other publications?) advertising not only that he had photos for sale, but also that he was seeking photographs of "old time" players for which he would trade photos of then-current players that he had photographed. He would then reproduce the photographs of the old time players to fill gaps in his catalog. I don't know what, if anything, he did to obtain the rights to reproduce the images, but he did at least acknowledge that they were reproduced with that particular back stamping. Other details: So the photo you have would have been produced from a negative that was itself produced by re-shooting the original photograph (in effect, taking a picture of a picture). Technically, it would be a Type 4, or vintage reproduction, or vintage 2nd generation photograph, depending on your preferred nomenclature. As Graig said, a nice desirable image, and I wouldn't get too caught up in the "reproduction" aspect of it (as your opposing bidders, or lack thereof, seem to have done). Nice snag!

Thanks so much for the kind words Graig...one day I hope to add one of your masterpieces to my collection. Have you ever a Chase for anyone? If not, what image would you do?
And thanks Lance for the background on my photo...it's one of my favorite pieces and it's nice to know a little more about it. Hope to add more Chase shots in the future...

Matt,
They're a few that I do like of him, portraits and full body shots alike. For whatever reason, I'm always drawn to this one: ![]() There's something about him watching the ball go by that goes with his supposed nature, I feel. Even though it's a seen that was probably taken in practice and all, it still feels kind of sinister to me. Then again, maybe he's a sinister looking dude. Speaking of sinister: ![]() Amazing. Graig
