Vintage Glass Plate Negatives
April 11, 2018
What follows are images from a haul of 4x5 and 5x7 glass plate negatives made in Maine in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. A colleague of mine gave them to me. They were made by her great grandfather.
I don't know if our forum has a thread where people are sharing images made from old glass plate negatives. If not, I'd love to see other people contribute images here. I once was the printer for the photo archive of the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma. For $4 an hour, I made prints from 19th and early 20th Century glass plates made in the "Old West." We had a few plates as large as 20x24". I love this stuff, and I'd love to see what you folks might have sitting around your own little home archives.

Me too. You found some super negatives. Here's a scan from a 5x7 glass plate negative. I think it was probably made with a Simon Wing Ajax or New Gem multiplying camera.

You guys have a gold mine.
Some of us have been posting old glass negs willy-nilly. Maybe we have a dedicated thread and we need to merge.
I shot a couple 100-year-old NOS 5X7 plates a few months ago and posted somewhere.
Here's my hat on a stick, barely visible. Took a lot of light Shot on https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4600/...f746bfb3_z.jpg5 by moe.randy, on Flickr
