Glass plate negatives - continued...

Finally I am starting to scan some of the glass plate negatives that Gary lent me last year. Explanation here - http://jayavant.posterous.com/glass-plate-negatives

The pictures are very sharp and detailed, despite the poor condition of the negatives. Many are wrapped in paper as shown in the pictures. The paper appears to be a police document from "The Colony of Queensland". This would place them pre-federation - so in the 19th Century. This one seems to be taken in Clermont, Central Queensland.

A larger version of the picture can be seen on my flickr site - http://www.flickr.com/photos/hojucandy/4779962328/
