FIRST GEN 1 DEFINED
"As defined in the 2005 book "A Portrait of Baseball Photography"
FIRST GEN 1
A first-generation photograph, developed from the original negative during the period (approximately two years) when the picture was taken. First Gen 1's, because of their vintage and originality, are the most desirable and valuable of the four photograph types.
We believe that with the emergence of digital photography the definition needed to be modified to define how photographs were to be produced. It is on that basis we developed the following definition:
A First Gen 1 photograph is a first-generation, chemically developed photographic print produced directly from the original camera negative or transparency on photographic paper within a reasonable proximity to when the image was captured.
