  Wow - This is fantastic! I remember learning about the glass plate photography - difficult to get the negative, takes some skill. I believe it was called Collodian Wet Plate?

  Hi Peter According to our catalogue record, this is a dry plate negative - according to this website dry plate techniques made taking photographs simpler than earlier wet plate techniques. -- Courtney
