The same individual was also selling a number of MSTL prints from Robert Graham. As I looked at the ebay offerings I noticed I already had some in my collection, acquired from others sources. And very few indicate who was the photographer. As Hol points out Graham traded with other photographers, as was common back in the early days of rail photography. Some photographers would even take multiple shots, so they had extra negatives to trade. And many were never marked as to who was the photographer.

Subject: Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Photo Collection - Cooperative to Purchase Before spending a lot of money on this, check with Jim Singer of the BRHS Archives Committee, because unless I am badly mistaken the BRHS archives already has a substantial number of Robert Graham prints, and possibly negatives. The prints being sold on ebay are a mixture of Graham's own photos and prints he traded with other photographers, and since names are not marked on perhaps a majority of them it is impossible to tell whose photos they are, and this makes reproducing them a very dicey proposition in this day of intellectual property copyright laws.

Subject: Re: [CBQ] CB&Q Photo Collection - Cooperative to Purchase Thank you, Patrick. I am currently seeking pledges (I have five). I need several more before I will ask those that pledge to send me a check. I hope that others will recognize that a modest contribution from 14 of us on this message board will preserve these photos, through BRHS, forever.
