Ipcress, when I look at the text through a loop it appears that it is an imprint with identical features as the black in the print prior to coloring. It either did not print correctly leaving some ink missing in the center or it has worn off. Hard to tell and harder to describe. You can clearly see that the piece was first printed in black and the colors were over layed afterwards. My gut feeling is that is an early copy made from the original using similar techniques and possibly a giveaway. I see no sign of it ever being framed. But it will be framed and hanging in my office right beneath my news picture of Casey Stengel, Branch Rickey, Adlai Stevenson and Avril Harriman right before the world series. Thanks
Cogar. I will try again. I opened it in picture manager which has no save as option. Thanks
