Roses in Window (3 of 3) Glass Plate Negative fraternal order The proportions of the box

The proportions of the box are terrific too

and general signs of wear consistent with age

but the paint remains bright and all the better for some wear

Roses in Window (3 of 3) Glass Plate Negative fraternal order The proportions of the boxThis 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
