Glass Negatives:
the Collodion Wet Plate
Period
of Use: 1851 - 1880's
The glass
negative was sharp and the prints made from it produced fine detail. Further,
the photographer could produce several prints from one negative.
The
collodion wet plate can be identified by the unevenly coated emulsion,
thick glass, rough edges, and sometimes the photographer's thumb print
on the edge.
