original or copy

Hi folks, I have this vintage small 4x4" photo, as you can see has a vintage westcoast native village scene with 3 totem poles.

Any guess as if this is a real original photo off a negative? I checked with a loupe and does not have evidence of a digital copy.. will take to a shop soon, any guess. thanks

It may be a scene from Alert bay BC a famous village painted by Emily Carr.

ps do you see the 3rd totem pole , its near the tall one, up close it's a fascinating scene from days gone by. I bought it at a flea market and likely is original just not sure.

Is that the only one that you bought at the flea market? Please let us know if you ever find out if it is the original.

What did you ever do with the photo showing the tall sunflower at your parent's home, the one you posted ten years or so ago on the Forum? That picture fascinated me and I have never forgotten it. Kelley (Texas)

MERRY CHRISTMAS

I think this is real because the graphic shows it is real and you just need to go and confirm to the flea market again. If it is original than i also need such entique pictures to my home.
