Hi Ed,

This picture shows us a Bourget Air Show in 1932. N°217 on PZL fuselage is typical temporary marking of that show.
The plane in background is a Morane Saulnier 230, F-AMBT, owned by Jean Assollant famous french pilot (Oiseau Canari) at Velizy in 1932!
And the picture was most probably taken by an american citizen and printed in Brandeis, Massachusets.

So I bet, yes, an orignal.

Regards, Franck.

There is no Brandeis, Massachusetts. It does not exist. But in 1932 there was a department store chain in Nebraska called J. L. Brandeis & Sons. Thus the name on the back of "Brandeis Stores", which was it popular name. In nearly every store in the US that had a photo department, it was tied in to Kodak, and the use of the name Kodak was a promotion of "quality" processing and printing.

And Ed, thanks for the continued mining for gems. Much appreciated.
