Off-topic, but it reminds me...
One of my fondest memories of working in a lab was the day that a guy
came in to the shop with something he found in some relative's house.
It was a few boxes of plate glass negatives. About 150 of them.
He had us make contact prints of all of them. Most were 5x7. Such a
feeling of times past. Portraits. Scenes around the yard. Everything
with people in it was static and posed. I was only 20 - I had only
heard about glass plates in books.
Of course we used a warm-toned fiber paper (can't remember which -
some Kodak stock).
