it appears that the questions that
seemed obvious to me were pretty obvious and got
investigated.
I think I also was one who answered some of your specific
questions
Richard, it seems the Korona View camera was not mentioned
for these
glass plates but it was one of the cameras AA was using
during the
last years of the '20s, the camera used 6.5"x8.5" plates,
this is the
same size for the glass plates in topic.
Talking about glass plates, a few years ago a pro
photographer found
and bought in an antique shop at Buenos Aires city 175
positives
-slides- glass plates showing images from a factory at
Leipzig city,
Germany. These plates are very old, taken during the XXth
century
firsts two decades, they have the label “E. A. Seemann,
Leipzig.
Seestern-Lichtbilder” (something like E.A. Seemann, Leipzig;
Sea stars
photographies). The images are preserved very well
considering the
age, these are 10 samples published in the "Fotomundo"
magazine:

Carlos
Lantern slides... They were very popular for many
years. I suspect somone on the photo history list could
identify E.A.Seemann and date him. What a name for someone
publishing views!!
6.5x8.5 inches is known as full plate size. There is no
authentic information about how this size was named but it
is suggested that it was a standard size for window glass.
Well, could be.
