Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: A TABLETOP OR DESKTOP AND THE THINGS ON IT This is a very new acquisition and I got it at the same place I've been buying my glass plate negatives for the past few years. Sadly, they're going out of business in October. I will really miss the friendly, interested couple who owned it - as well as their cool place. They only had a few glass plate negatives left - and I bought them up. This was one of them. The thing about glass plate negatives is, it's sometimes tricky to see what you're getting - because you're just looking at the negative. After years of collecting these, I've learned how to assess the quality and I could see that the baby's face was well out of focus - but what I couldn't make out was why the woman seemed to have no head! There are vintage collectors who focus on the "hidden mother" image, which is exactly that - a mother holding up an infant or young child but hiding herself so that (usually) just her hand is visible. It clearly was not that type, as could make out her apron - but, after, forking out two dollars, and "developing it" on the computer at home, this is the comical image that emerged. And, serendipitously, it turned out to fit perfectly with this week's theme! So, here's a desk with a baby (!), a lamp, a globe, a postal scale, a clock, and lots of paperwork on it - and a semi, "hidden mother" holding the baby next to it!

No information. Glass plate negative. Found in East Middlebury, VT. 2022.

Found glass plate negative. Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: "Photos that are damaged, faded, or have other imperfections, especially ones in which the flaws somehow enhance the image. This includes photos with defective processing, light leakage, and double exposures."

I forgot about this perfect ship motto when I posted the Ipernity plea a few weeks back- I suppose it might have worked better than the "magic spoon" one. : ) Oh, well. Now I get to use it for...LINES/STRIPES, the current theme of Vintage Photos Theme Park. This is a photo (glass plate negative) chock full of lines, but it does include a few stripes as well. (On the flags.) The dealer I bought this from told me it came from a family in Connecticut. (Along with several others I bought at the same time.) The man in the photograph has moved - hence the strange, pointy looking piratey peg-leg.

Glass plate negative found by the antique dealer I bought it from, in Bennington, Vermont. Actual location of this photo unknown, but probably Vermont.

Happy Fence Friday, friends! This glass plate negative was originally posted for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: WAITING A clever dog on a chair *waiting* for a well deserved treat! This is one of a group of glass plate negatives that I found in Vermont and was originally (according to the dealer) from an estate sale in Bennington, Vermont.

Glass plate negative from an estate sale in Bennington, Vermont. I just spoke with a woman at Bennington Museum who told me this is not Bennington. So, the mystery remains. Where is it? Rutland.
