    This is a photo that I am printing sepia posters of for our little town...
    As you can see, the date somebody "wrote" on the negative says 1926 but I think I see some model As in there which means that can not be accurate...
    Any thoughts...???? HAMB.jpg

    A larger picture if possible would help ;)

    The perspective in the middle of the pic (Dodge coupe appears to be driving atop a wall!) really baffled these tired eyes.
    ...and, yes! Open up the size, will ya?

  8. Optical illusion. The car that looks like it's on a wall is actually on the right shoulder of the street.

    NO, the Dodge is being driving by a woman, and it's on the sidewalk; at least her direction is right

    I'd say the ones that look like A's are not. the person who put the date is probably the photographer who would know what years it is better than us.
     
  11. Link doesn't work for me but a quick look at the calendar beside my desk looks like 2017 :D HRP

    Wow! That is a great quality picture. Down loaded it and blew it up as large as I easily could. Still looked good.
