Dick,
My colleague said that the boardwalk was at Orchard Beach, and that one lighthouse was Portland head light and the other was Twin Lights under construction. She also gave me a three inch stack of stereo cards from Maine, several of which have dates written or printed on them from the 1860's through the 1880's. I texted images of some of these cards that were taken on Peak's Island to my cousin who'd lived there for several years and her response was that it really looks pretty much the same today. Maine is a beautiful state.
Best,
Cameron
PS: Here are a few of the stereo cards from Peak's Island. I'll post them here in spite of the fact that they aren't glass plates!

Re: Vintage Glass Plate Negatives
I had posted some 3.5"X3.5" plates on the forum about 7 years ago, in the "Found Photographs" thread in the Lounge" but I am pretty sure they are gone due to the file service disappearing. Anyway, I'll post them here.
A friend gave me a couple plate boxes containing the plates. I scanned them all and within a couple days after posting them, had some feed back from forum member Raymond Bleesz letting us know he knew the locations of some of the images. Over the next year or so he spent some time out in Colorado researching my plates (I sent him a CD with high res scans), even wrote several articles for his local publications, discussing these plates.

Cameron, one is Nubble Light, another looks like Marshall Point. I bet J.P. would know a few more.

Re: 19th Century Glass Plate Negatives
This posting could be slightly off topic. Not sure. Here are 3 quarter-plate negatives of Times Square taken at night on January 16, 1947. The negative envelope says exposure was 14 seconds at f/6.3. The three plates are color separation negatives. The color assembly was done in Photoshop.

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.

It’s hard to imagine anything photographed as a wet plate collodion not looking great, if not gorgeous. Thanks for sharing!

I've got a few picked up at photo shows and off eBay in the last few years. Here is a sample, mostly 5x7:

Given the timeframe they can be put in, they are extremely unlikely to be collodion plates. They don't look much like it either.

You fellows (Jac, Scott, Randy x 2, & Robert) have all posted some terrific plates. There are several that I’d love to see in person. This is really giving me an itch to start actively collecting these. Probably because my own personal work is focused on portraiture, Robert, I think that final image you posted above is just perfect. The gestures, the expressions, the details (those hats!) all contribute to a unity that I think is rare in these types of portraits. Thank you for sharing it.
