    Photo signed " R 1911" We always wondered if it was by Riis. Anyone know if he ever signed photos with an R ??

    Old photo of women working in textile factory setting.

      Wonderful photograph but not taken by Jacob Riis, in my opinion based simply on examples of his signature, not style.

      Here are two examples of Riis's signature and I don't see any similarity of the "R" to the one on your photograph:
