Description from the seller
Antique photography set comprising two cardboard boxes of orthochromatic photographic plates by AGFA, containing a total of eight glass plates in negative.
The boxes bear their original labels mentioning the AGFA brand, the orthochromatic dry plates, as well as technical indications relating to photographic development. The packaging presents an appealing vintage aesthetic, with printed labels and Bordeaux and cream tones.
The eight glass plates feature different architectural views: old buildings, town houses, façades and urban scenes. Some images appear to depict buildings located in Brussels, Belgium, but this identification remains to be confirmed.
The exact date of manufacture and taking of the photographs is not indicated on the boxes. The set testifies to old photographic techniques on glass plates and may interest collectors of antique photographic equipment, fans of historical photography, and enthusiasts of architectural heritage.
Note: positive versions of the images have been produced with the help of artificial intelligence and are presented solely for informational purposes to facilitate visualization of the scenes. These are not paper photographic prints. The sale comprises exclusively the two boxes and the eight negative glass plates.
Contents of the lot
2 antique AGFA-branded cardboard boxes.
8 negative glass photographic plates, orthochromatic.
Original old labels bearing the brand and product indications.
Dimensions
Boxes: about 13.5 × 10 cm, thickness 3 cm.
Glass plates: about 12 × 8.5 cm, thickness 2 mm.
Condition
Old state, with signs of wear, scuffing, alterations and time marks on the boxes and their labels. The plates likewise show aging traces, dirt, and alterations visible in the photographs. The condition of each plate should be assessed from the listing photographs.
Shipping
Extremely careful and secure shipping. Each plate will be individually protected and immobilized in appropriate packaging, with reinforced protections to minimize shock risks during transport. The boxes will also be carefully protected.
An old and singular ensemble, a witness to the history of glass photography, offered in its original presentation.
Best regards."} }{
