I haven't read the published stories about this so maybe this has been answered. I wonder about what dates the material is supposed to have been made. Glass plates were considered obsolete except for some special purposes after about the 1920s. However, they made a resurgence during WW-2 when cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate, basic materials for film support, were considered strategic materials. Also, does anyone know what sort of materials known Adams negatives were made of during the peroid these negatives were supposed to have been made by him? Another also, what size are they? Its fairly well known what camreras Adams was working with at various times, are these negtatives consonant with those cameras?
