1909 ANA PHOTO VARIANTS
Russell Hibbs wrote: "Pertaining to the issue of the 1909 ANA
"official" picture taken on 10 August 1909 on the porch of Hotel
Burean, Bout de l'Isle, has anyone noticed that there are two
different pictures of this event, probably taken only minutes
apart? One is the "Adams" picture on page 68 of Vol.2 of his
book and the second is the "ANA" picture on page 259 of THE
NUMISMATIST, 1909. There are subtle but definitely different
aspects of each picture, but the wearing or not wearing of hats
seems to be the easiest way to differentiate between them. In the
Adams picture the fifth seated man from the right in front row is
wearing his white hat, whereas in the ANA picture, he has taken it
off. However in Adams the gentleman third from the left has his
hat off and has put it back on in the ANA photo. My question
to you readers of E-sylum is: which picture was taken first and
why? And also does it really matter? It also brings up for
discussion why there are two pictures and how and why did
John Adams use one that was not in ANA for his book and
where did he get it? And awwaay we go! Russ Hibbs,
