Eva, the surviving photograph/print is actually a copy of the original, basically a print photograph of the original photograph. So the person(s) selling it could have been selling several copies of the photograph to different soldiers/tourists/chumps while keeping the original.

Isn't it strange then that no more copies "popped up"?
