Attribution almost certainly wrong[edit]

What, if anything, is the basis of attributing https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/ayp/id/361 to Asahel Curtis? The copyright notice at lower left is from the A-Y-P Exposition; at lower right it credits "F. H. Nowell"; so I would certainly presume this is the work of Frank Nowell, official photographer of the Exposition.

Very similarly for https://digitalcollections.lib.washington.edu/digital/collection/ayp/id/176: it sure looks to me like Nowell's "bug" at the lower right, but your site attributes it Curtis.
