Roses in Window (3 of 3) Glass Plate Negative fraternal order and general signs of wear

and general signs of wear consistent with age

I have left the protective plastic cover on and photographed it as such

but also because I didn’t know exactly what it was and wanted to find out

The proportions of the box are terrific too

Roses in Window (3 of 3) Glass Plate Negative fraternal order and general signs of wearThis is one of three 5" x 7" glass plate negatives in the shop capturing arrangements of roses in various settings. Pretty unusual, I think they are wonderful both as images and objects, and would probably prop them just as is in a windowsill, which is how I photographed them. I believe they probably date to the 1910s or 20s. Really lovely. The slide shows a little peeling and few scratches, I think just adding to its terrific moodiness and aura! 5" x
