Glass plate negative collection, [1910?]-[1919?].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122543331

This collection of glass negatives contains 313 5 x 7 glass plates. The negatives on these plates vary in size from 1 x 2 through 5 x 7, and many plates contain 2 negatives. The majority of these negatives are images of portraits and prints of prominent Alabamians and historic sites to be used in Thomas M. Owen's History of Alabama and Dictionary of Alabama Biography. Of special interest are Peter Brannon's images of the Ala. Anthropological Society and images of various C.S.A. soldiers. Many of these images were not used and are therefore unidentifiable. These original prints belonged to Alabama families which were not a part of ADAH collections. A number of prints do belong to ADAH collections and if the print was published the page number will be noted in the container list. A number of the plates are in poor condition.
