Hi again! Please, could anybody tell me if this photo is pre 45? I have some doubts. First, the white frame has been cut, but there's another think that I'd like to know. Is it normal that kind of printing technique for a private photo? I mean, if you see the pics I've attached, the printing technique used for this photo is different to all the photos I've seen. It seems to be like a magazine photo or so, not like a developed photo. On the back appear the mark: "Agfa Bovira". Does it help?

The dot pattern you can see is a half-tone screen. This photograph has been copied from a printed source, e.g. from a newspaper or book.Comment

I have seen this photo before in publications, it is post war. It is a photograph taken of the image from a newspaper of a book.Comment

It's hard to say when the copy was made. Agfa Brovira paper was around in WWII and is still in use today.
The photo doesn't look very old, with no fading or yellowing.
However, if the photograph was fixed and washed properly when developed and then stored out of light for most of its life then it wouldn't fade or yellow much anyway.
Perhaps the style of the "Agfa Brovira" writing or logo can date the age of paper? But even if the paper is of WWII vintage, it may have only been exposed and developed last week.
Basically what I'm saying is, it's almost impossible to say when this photographic copy was created. But my gut feeling is sometime in the last 25 years.
