This is an original photograph of the 34th Infantry Division forming their insignia on August 18, 1918. There are 16,000 men in this photo taken at Camp Cody, New Mexico by Almeron Newman of nearby Deming NM (Newman is worth a Google search: his prints mostly seem to be in the Library of Congress, museums, government and university archives).
The title of the photo is ANIMATED CREST 34TH DIVISION and in the lower left corner it is marked "Number 2". Images of the "Number 1" version can be found in many places on the web: it has far fewer men in it and basically there is a lot of empty space around the elements of the patch. but I was not able to find this "Number 2" version anywhere else, not an image at all. This is an original photographic print about 13.5 inches by 15.5 inches. The price is $349 OBO including shipping.
