Question for the Vintage Photo Experts

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>I just picked up a vintage newspaper photo negative of an unidentified baseball player from the 1910 era. What type of material would you expect the negative to be made from? I was told that this was an acetate negative. Does anyone know if that would that be consistent with a negative from that era?<br /><br />Any help is greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>The original probably would be glass. Newspapers often kept archives and copy negatives of old images, so it could be a later copy from the newspaper. Plastic film negatives came into usage in the 1930s.
