Negatives For Prints

Description

This series includes 64 6 ½ X 8 ½ and 5 x 7 glass plates that have been, at one point, pulled out to make prints. The glass plates are in good condition and include interesting subjects such as the interior of a parlor, haying and plowing, and early automobiles. Also included are images of Thomas Creighton and his house and family, a Decoration Day Parade, Samuel Salisbury and his wife, and the Shippees family in a wagon, all of which are from Pascoag, Connecticut. Some of the negatives were in original sleeves with identifying information, while others did not have any accompanying information. The negatives were labeled from A 1 to A 57, although the numbers are not completely consecutive. There are several negatives without numbers. The series also includes two unidentified prints which are housed in box 38.
