      Attributed photograph — identity not conclusively confirmed

      Captioned Tige plate from the 1936 book. The adjacent text reports birth in 1896, parents Paddy and Jennie, and about 15.9 kg as historical pit weight (35 lb), a separate category from usual weight. Exposure date and photographer are unknown; attribution follows the original caption.

      Joseph L. Colby, The American Pit Bull Terrier (The News Publishing Co., Sacramento, 1936), captioned Tige plate, PDF page 10. Photographer not named. Whole photograph and printed name retained by faithful native-PDF rendering/extraction; no AI, retouching or enlargement. Exact source PDF and original JP2 streams retained.

      Photograph source · Reuse basis

      The exact 1936book plate labels this standing dog COLBY’S TIGE. The adjacent printed caption says whelped 1896, sire Colby’s Paddy, dam Colby’s Jennie, and identifies John P. Colby, Newburyport. This matches existing PITVU public_id 01M59C4C2VSANBXZ8JV5KT5K7R/catalog_key colbys-tige, FIAPBT 12590 and the retained 5652 Bunch parent context; it is not another modern Tige. Identification is attributed to this original caption, not independently authenticated. Whelping 1896 is NOT the photograph’s exposure date, which is unknown. The first retained publication here is this 1936 book.
