Great photo. This one and the "Happy B-day Mr. President" photo are (to me) her most desirable photos.

If I recall correctly, this scene from "The Seven Year Itch" made Joe D. Furious and was the beginning of the end of their short marriage.

I have this photo of a non HOFer, Hi (Hy) Myers but I'm not sure if it's considered a Type 1 photo. I'm not a photo guy. It measures 4x6 inches. I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me if it's a type 1 photo or not. Thanks in advance.

Not a type 1, but a nice photo!

[edtiques]

Thank you for that information. Could you tell me what type it is?

Likely a type 2.

It would've been a similar photographer to Burke or the like who made period copies to sell.

The almost card style papery texture is a telltale sign that it's not a type 1.

Thank you again!!

The "clips" were phased out in the early 1920s. That type of printing, where the photo came to the edge of the paper, is known as "full bleed." Conlon, for example used full bleed until about 1915 or '16.

If you have a Conlon of Joe McGinnity with white borders, you can be certain Conlon printed it after Iron Joe was retired. It shouldn't matter, Charlie took the photograph and printed it himself, but there is a distinction.

NEA, the photo service, was slow to adapt. You can find their prints with the white globs in the corners into the 1920s.

The early photo paper, the thin stuff, hasn't existed for a century. It would be easier to fake a Vermeer than a vintage Conlon contact print. Also, look at the patina, which you can't recreate. Buy a black light and a pair of cheap calipers.

So….I am interested in collecting these. What would I do with calipers and a black light? Thanks

A Roger Bresnahan Type 2 I picked up recently. Sure, developed several decades after the fact but still from the original neg and image quality can’t be beat.

Thanks, Chris. I think so too and got it at auction for next to nothing. Here’s one of my Paul Thompson Type 1’s — Miller Huggins at the Polo Grounds in 1910.
