Day 172


More to add to my vintage camera collection.

I found this item on eBay and wanted it very much. Having learned about the tedious and time consuming process of making photographs in the late 1800s - early 1900s, it gave me more appreciation for the founders of photography and photography itself.

Included with the box are two unused dry plates. The glass plates are what were used instead of film or a JPEG/RAW file on a memory card. It is really neat stuff to read up about.

The eBay seller said the box and plates are circa 1904. It is great to know that I have little pieces of history, especially in photographic history.
