4/10 from my series of 19th century photos This light-leaked image is as much a portrait of the anonymous photographer as it is of the couple. Consider the skewed angle/position of the camera, the haphazard outdoor composition, the newspaper casually tossed on the ground. In my imagination, these are the photographer&#39;s parents indulging in their son&#39;s new passion on an early summer night in New England.

3/10 from my series of 19th century photos The most pristine group portrait I have, virtually everyone standing still, so no motion blur from the long exposure. Two cuts of meat hanging from the doorway and the gents in the back wearing white aprons lead me to conclude these are the employees of a butcher shop. If I had to guess, based on the more urban setting, maybe this is Springfield, MA? Original post for context: https://mastodon.art/@jeremyosborn/116268053719423828 #Photography #Histo...

30 years ago, a friend paid me for a gig with late 19th-century glass negatives. I specifically chose the &quot;flawed&quot; ones (blurry/underexposed) thinking that maybe they were never originally printed, and therefore I might be the first person to see these remarkable images. I’m sharing one a day for the next 10 days. Clues suggest these were taken in Western Massachusetts approximately 120+ years ago.
