Childs Art Gallery 1890 Glass Plate Negative of Young Woman with Flowers Inuit with these thin black threads

with these thin black threads tethering the two together

or placed under the pillow

with nicely detailed face and all over spots

or certainly as part of a collection alongside other beautiful boxes or lacquerware

Childs Art Gallery 1890 Glass Plate Negative of Young Woman with Flowers Inuit with these thin black threadsSo lovely. I know from the seller that I purchased this from that it dates to 1890s or so and came from the archive of the Childs Art Gallery, one of the oldest and largest photographic studios in Upper Michigan. Founded by Brainard F. Childs in 1868, Childs Art Gallery was famous for artistic portraiture, and the glass plate negatives make for extremely sharp prints. Included in the photos is a positive made from the plate. I really love this young
