That's a very interesting question. We've seen a few reversed image prints used as press photos, so it wasn't unheard of - I have one of Gehrig sliding into home...from first base. Perhaps Mrs. Fawnley had recently reversed an image and one of her coworkers was poking fun at her?

Cool pics. Good Lord those uniforms look uncomfortable. What type of belts did they use? I do not see a belt buckle.

It is early evidence of the right 'winged' conspiracy against us lefties...always trying to corrupt us and cover up evidence of any southpaw talent.

That Killian photo is great. That pose was the first T206 I bought back in the early 80's and when I divested most of my non-Brooklyn White Borders, I hung on to it. It's such a great image.

I have seen the name Fawley associated with other T206 images. Not quite sure where she fits in, either the photography or the lithography??
