Submit a Photo

Tips for a great submission

Photograph both the front and back of the original — writing and studio marks on the back are often the best clues.
Scan or photograph in good, even light. Avoid shadows across the subject's face.
Note exactly where and when you found the photograph.
Include any text on the photo, exactly as written, even if partial.
