About News Agency Photos:
Wire Photos or News Agency Photos were extensively used in print media during the first half of the 1900's. Issued by news agencies (such as Acme, NEA, International News, Associated Press, UPI, Fotogram,) only to the press, these Gorgeous pieces capture a historical moment, frozen in time, as they were issued on the day the event happened. Unfortunately they were issued in extremely limited quantities solely for print media industry usage (it is estimated that there were approximately 25 - 50 of EACH particular photograph made). Over the years, many were destroyed or lost, and in some cases, there are only 1 or 2 specimens known to exist today of a particular photograph making these Original! , First Generation Vintage Photographic relics Outstanding Investments.

Item Description
| Grading Standard: |
News Agency 1st Generation Real Photo |
| Size: |
See above with some minor variation. |
| Other Notes: |
Good solid photo of the period. Please do not expect perfect photos. These are 10-90+ years old depending on the photo and were used in a business. Often they have small creases in the corners and around the edges.
I have several thousand news photos for sale and I do not always put them in the same auction category. Check my other auctions for more of these superb photos. |

Photo Grading Standards and Terms Used
| 1st Generation Photo: |
This is a photo manufactured near the time when the image was created. Most often from the original negative but not always. Except for VELOX and CROWN paper, the film company name does not appear on the back of the paper. News Agency and Official photos fall into this category automatically.. |
| 2nd Generation Photo: |
Photos produced sometime after the time period of the image but before the 1980s. Normally it does not have the name of the film company on the back of the paper but there are exceptions. Normally high quality images developed from original negatives. They are not computer generated copies. This classification is mostly used for post WWII photos and can cover a wide time frame. |
| Modern Reproduction: |
Has KODAK or film-name on the back of the paper or some other markings that positively identify it as of recent manufacture. Mostly this covers photos produced from the very late 1980s through today. |
| Vintage: |
I use this classification for those items that do not fit neatly into one of the previous three classifications. These are items of great age but are not 1st Generation Photos. An example would be a WWI photo manufactured in 1930s. |
| Real-Photo: |
The most prized type of photo. This has been developed on film stock and is not a simulated photo like what you would find in a newspaper. |
| Photo: |
Can be of any type of manufacture but is not a real-photo. For example. a picture in a newspaper is a photo. To identify one look at the picture under a magnifying glass. It will consists of tiny dots. In essence these are simply prints. |
