I have a wonderful photo album c. 1905. It was obviously done by a serious
amature photographer. It has great pics of a picnic party with a 1905
horseless carriage and the guys in fur coats and the gals in Gibson style
hats and such. The silver prints have long ago left to go back to Eastman
or Scoville, the platinums are like new and there are a smattering of
cyanotypes of naked boys swimming in a swimming hole ala Eakins that are as
fresh as when they were made.
