Custom Work on 100+ Yr Old Photo Developed from an Old Judge Glass Plate Negative

[Joe_G.]

Well done Tanner !!

I've written about the glass plate negatives at length in past, enjoyed studying the Vermont find through Terry Knouse Sr. and the Saco River offering. When I lay my eyes upon a Goodwin negative I'm drawn to the history as it relates to Goodwin and Co. as opposed to the Vermont find itself but thankful ~88 authentic negatives were preserved via the find. You now need to obtain the negative that is a match to your Vermont find photo & your N172.

Did you notice that the ball was moved on the N172 vs the original negative? Jay and I have spotted quite a few poses in which the ball was moved on the N172 (likely on the 24 card negative).

Here is a copy of the Boyce negative that is a match to your photo; lot #93 at the Jan 2015 Saco River Offering.



Many of the negatives exhibit remarkable clarity that simply cannot be enjoyed on a small N172 or even on the N173s. Wish some of my favorite players were amongst the find, would love to see a Charlie Bennett (Tomlinson Studio), Lady Baldwin or Deacon White (Fearnaught Studio), or Sam Thompson (Gray Studio) negative.

The custom mounts with gold foil look fabulous, well done!
