Description |
Portrait of G. O. Burgess, first mayor of Independence Heights |
Background |
During the 1880s, the use of glass as a transparent and stable base for dry photographic emulsions replaced the collodion wet plate process. Glass was the first widely implemented medium used to create a transparent photographic negative. The end product became known as the glass plate negative and became obsolete as the camera and the photograph processes evolved over time. Commonly used into the 1920s, glass plate negatives prefigured the more durable, affordable, and familiar flexible film negative. |
