My friend bought a bunch of these glass plate negatives at Ax-Man Surplus. Dry glass plate negatives were widely used between 1880 and 1920 when the new technology of gelatin silver negatives became available on roll film. I have included both the negative and positive for comparison. These glass plates were taken on an 8x10 camera, in which the image is viewed up side down and backwards, and notice the photographer would sometimes take two images per glass plate. No immediate digital feedback with this process. Check out the style, I love the veil and accents, plus the flowers were enormous. Go to DCharles Photography to see contemporary wedding photography.
