Childs Art Gallery 1890 Glass Plate Negative of Young Woman with Flowers Inuit and wired on the back

and wired on the back for hanging

This piece is unsigned

with these thin black threads tethering the two together

It then focusies on the techniques of producing a manuscript book: tools and materials

with nicely detailed face and all over spots

Childs Art Gallery 1890 Glass Plate Negative of Young Woman with Flowers Inuit and wired on the backSo lovely. I know from the seller that I purchased this from that it dates to 1890s or so and came from the archive of the Childs Art Gallery, one of the oldest and largest photographic studios in Upper Michigan. Founded by Brainard F. Childs in 1868, Childs Art Gallery was famous for artistic portraiture, and the glass plate negatives make for extremely sharp prints. Included in the photos is a positive made from the plate. I really love this young
