Description: | The plates advertised on this leaflet are large, chemically-treated glass frames onto which an image would be impressed by a flash of light. Once a picture had been taken, the plate would be removed and developed in a dark room.
Photography developed enormously over the course of the 19th century, and not just technically. It went from being a professional occupation to a popular hobby among middle class amateurs. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Unknown | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
