Seed Pearl Necklace and Bracelets

Thank you, Roger, for the explanation! No worries. It's just that the information that was left out made it appear that I was in complete agreement with you as far as the importance of provenance as it relates to photographs. I AM in complete agreement with you on the other items you laid out (historical artifacts, art, etc.) but not with a photograph. I just feel that the sole criteria for authentication should be the visual evidence available. Only if one were to factor in the monetary value of a particular photograph would provenance then become relevant. Just my thoughts on it. I don't expect anyone else on here to agree with me. Thanks again.

Laurie ... the owner of the dag was the first to recognize the image as that of Abraham and Mary Lincoln.
