<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 55385, member: 36"]Gelatin prints do that. I'm guessing this is 1920s, ground zero for gelatin prints. My guess is the "cut" is the old fold line and the paper just plain let go due to old age. Someone taped it because they wanted the image for whatever reason. The tape looks later rather than earlier; older tapes were narrow. I'm guessing 1970s or later.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
