I have this great photo of a famous big game fisherman by the name of Dr. Richard Sutton fishing with a Kovalovsky-made fishing reel. The photo was taken in 1937. Has anyone ever seen it before? Any ideas what publication it might have appeared in? If it was ever published, I would like to find a copy of the publication. Anybody recognize the signature? Thank you for any help!! John

Rollei used to print these and send them to authorized Rollei dealers to use in displays.

Thanks for the info, Bob. So maybe the signature was of the Rollei dealer who had it on display. Dr. Sutton was an accomplished photographer and had a Rollei camera. He was probably friends with the dealer. I guess I'll never know who actually took the picture, and I can't make heads or tails of the signature.
