<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 10016531, member: 33&quot;]The published obituary or the handwritten note may be incorrect. This sort of error happens frequently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for tagging me about this, [USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER] . From what I can see, I&#039;d say it&#039;s definitely a photographic image underneath. However, I can&#039;t tell what type for certain. I&#039;m wondering, since the seller insisted that it is a painting, not a painted photograph -- and the seller took it apart... it seems more likely that the photo would be on paper, which would seem to indicate that salt print is more likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>And luckily, I just found an image of a salt print photo, painted, by Mayall! Not as heavily painted as yours, [USER=481]@Batman_2000[/USER]&nbsp; -- but he definitely did this sort of thing. He might have hired somebody to do the painting. Studios often did.</p><p><a href="https://historical.ha.com/itm/photography/large-hand-painted-salt-print-photograph/a/6047-47254.s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://historical.ha.com/itm/photography/large-hand-painted-salt-print-photograph/a/6047-47254.s" rel="nofollow">https://historical.ha.com/itm/photography/large-hand-painted-salt-print-photograph/a/6047-47254.s</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
