That strategic damage to the area that has the Reno credit is a total tell. Shame on me for forgetting about the image in Gibson!<br /><br />Check out my earlier link.

This one could indeed be a reproduction, but who made reproductions and from what source? This is becoming even more mysterious.John Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04391313393222271260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-16354802122347762292015-05-09T04:20:16.367-07:002015-05-09T04:20:16.367-07:00The listed measurements are either wrong or it is ...The listed measurements are either wrong or it is a different copy of the other known versions of this rare poster.
