Alexei,
Exactly. But what I can't figure out without seeing it is:
1) Has it actually been "washed" or "bleached"? or,
2) Is it a reprint from a genuine photo with the stamp blocked out in the printing process? or,
3) Is it (unlikely but possible) some odd form of original photo where the developer left space for the stamp?
I suspect #2 as it would be hard to clean it that well (#1) and I have never seen an original like that (#3).
