"Life On A Midwestern Farm, 1880-1910" Printed Book

For 100 years, these antique 4 x 5 inch glass plate negatives, were lost. Covered in dirt and filth in a barn, they were nearly unrecognizable when found in a Bond County Illinois Antique Mall. This is an incredible collection of early artistic work by a local farm family. The results are fascinating and show us a lot about life in that.. turn-of-the-century. These amateur photo enthusiasts were inventing candid photography that we all take for granted today. These prints are made from high resolution film scans.
