ANTIQUE GLASS PLATE PHOTO NEGATIVE - Original glass plate negative of a young man riding a bicycle directly toward the camera on a wide, tree-lined dirt street. He wears a flat cap, jacket, and bow tie, leaning forward over the handlebars with a slight smile.
The last photo in this listing is what the glass negative looks like scanned and inverted but not yet enhanced.
Condition: Poor. Heavy emulsion loss and damage around the edges, significant staining, discoloration, and surface wear. Large areas of the plate are compromised, though the central figure of the cyclist remains visible. The restored print shows a clear and more detailed image.
I scanned and enhanced the image using professional software for vivid detail. You will receive a high quality print (6" x 4") of the negative.
Measures: 5" x 4"
