Portrait of the Tully sisters c. 1910

14 Nov 2022 1 48
It will have been around 1910 that these two sisters, my Tully cousins, will have sat for this portrait in front of one of those huge box-like old cameras where the photographer disappeared under a black sheet. The negative appeared near miraculously on a sheet of thin glass. What is as amazing is that a pile of these old glass negatives have survived more than 120 years, Having bought an LED Light Panel a few days ago I have been able to examine them properly and invert them to positives with the help of Photoshop and their neural filters. I am astonished by the quality which has been entirely preserved in this old form of photography. So if you find yourself inheriting a bunch of old glass negatives, I would implore you not to drive them to the dump! They could represent invaluable family history!
