The 2nd image is a positive scan of the negative.

They are the same piece. In hand it looks like the one on the left.

Ok, but how do u get it to look like the right? If it looks in hand like the left, when does it look like the right?

I think when you flip the negative to the other side, then it looks like the right.

I think the proper question is can these glass negatives still be used to create a print? If yes, how big could that print be? 8 x 10? Larger? And, money question, would it be considered a first generation print still? Or 2nd generation...thanks!

It's a positive exposure of the negative. There are scanners out there that can do that for you.
