Roses in Window (1 of 3) Glass Plate Negative nine pins This handmade piece is stampedThis is one of three 5" x 7" antique glass plate negatives in the shop capturing arrangements of roses in various settings. Pretty unusual, I think they are wonderful both as images and objects, and would probably prop them just as is in a windowsill, which is how I photographed them. I believe they probably date to the 1910s or 20s. Really lovely. Good condition, with minor spots and a tiny bit of chipping around the edges, no real matter. Changes in
