There are three common marks that you might find on the back of a photo that can help identify it:
a lot number, the logo of the print paper used, or a personal mark made by the person developing the film.
|
Lot numbers can tell you which photos are
from the same roll of film.
|
The type of logo can give hints on date.
|
Look for pencil marks made by the person
developing the film.
|
Other useful features are crinkly edges that match, logos that have been divided across two pictures,
and logos that creep in position from picture to picture.
