The issues are now all but all resolved. I'd like to thank everyone for the help given, it's much appreciated.

That's OK, bizarrely it's the stick I can't discuss yet. The history of how the images have been interpreted is fine. If I can answer any questions here it's the least I can do.

The Thylacine Museum is an ongoing project, some of which dates back 20 years, much of it has been superseded by later research. This is one example. There are two other images of the animal and it's still debated whether they show the animal before or after death. We didn't really know who took...

As much as I hate to say this after all the help I've received here, but I can't go into that aspect of it at the moment. Of course I'll make sure anyone here who is interested gets the full picture after the results are published.

The photographer arrived the following day.

We're in Australia with these photos. That would probably be the same as here though, although American imports were pretty common in some things too. I know Kodak had a branch nearby.

Inches sorry.

Sorry, I wrote feet instead of inches. I'd say that the negatives are about 6" by 4". Whereas the print of one of the other two was about 6" x 6", I might be a bit out there though as the priority at the time was to try and find out about the background from the curator. I didn't think to take...
