~SAY CHEESE~

Hello guys, I know you thought Oh boy she sick so she won't be boring us any more with her dumb Antiques anymore...Right??? Well your Wrong....I wanted to show you just a few of my olden photo things I have....Now I have allot of pictures here so you may want to grab a cup of coffee so I don't put you to sleep...ha ha!! This is one of my photo albums from ca. 1900 and it's also one of my favorite ones.... Love the tin mirror its velvet and leather

You see this has a little built in desk in the back.... Were they not clever in the olden days...

Even has a inkwell and a place to put your pen

A place to put all your photos until you wrote on them

I have 11 of these olden photo albums...One even plays music

One of my olden camera's

Kodak Premo box camera...don't you love the little plunger button on it....
These are a few of my tin type pictures...this one is from the civil war...

And look at the beautiful case it on....

Tintypes were a cheap and simple way of producing photographs using wet collodion on thin black painted sheet iron (not tin). Fast and easy to produce, they needed no special care and could be put into brooches, lockets and paper mounts as well as more traditional cases or frames. The metal plate was coated with collodion, sensitised with silver nitrate and then exposed for less than the time to produce a proper negative. A short development, fix and brief wash were then given, and the plate dried quickly as the metal did not absorb water. The tintype was an almost instant process, ideal for local and itinerant street photographers. Tintype photographers could still be found in remote areas of some countries at the end of the 20th Century. The interest in most tintypes is sociological, as they covered a much wider range of society than more expensive photographic methods such as the ambrotype or albumen print. The six plate tintype being approximately 2½"x3½" was just a little short of the standard carte size of 2½"x4¼" so it could in fact be inserted directly into an album carte slot without requiring a mount.

Now these are glass negatives sorry about the poor picture quality of them but it was so hard trying to take a picture of these...I finally had to sit them in my kitchen window....These are from Moscow Red square....The Red square was built in the 15th century under the ruling of Ivan 111....

In 1864 W. B. Bolton and B. J. Sayce published an idea for a process which would come to revolutionize photography. They suggested that sensitive silver salts be formed in a liquid collodion, rather than being precipitated, in-situ, on the surface of a plate. A light-sensitive plate could then be prepared by simply flowing this emulsion across the surface of a glass plate; no silver nitrate bath would be required.
This idea was soon brought to fruition. First, a printing emulsion was developed using silver chloride. These emulsions were slow, and could not be developed, so they were mostly used for positive printing. Shortly later, silver iodide and silver bromide emulsions were produced. These proved to be significantly faster, and the image could be brought out by development.
The emulsions also had the advantage that they could be washed. In the wet collodion process, silver nitrate would react with a halide salt; potassium iodide, for example. This would result in a double replacement reaction. The silver and iodine ions in solution would react, forming silver iodide on the collodion film. However, at the same time, potassium nitrate would also be formed by the potassium ions from the iodide and the nitrate ions from the silver. This salt could not be removed in the wet process. However, with the emulsion process, it could be washed out after creation of the emulsion.
The speed of the emulsion process was unremarkable. It was not as fast as the ordinary wet process, but was not nearly as slow as the dry plate processes. Its chief advantage was that each plate would behave the same way; the inconsistencies observed in the ordinary process were rare.

St.Basil Cathedral....Oh these pictures so remind me of the Movie Doctor Zhivago

Look how clear their faces are....

These were taken during the Regin of Emperor Nicholas 11 ca. 1894....I keep all of these wrapped up in acid free paper in boxes and in a dark place to store....

This is one of the boxes from Moscow that I found them in....One day I will show you the ones I have from the United States from the 1910 with the olden cars in them...I hope I didn't bore you too much again today...But girls you know how I love Antiques and like I have told you I do have a collection of just about everything and I love to find odd things....OK Girl's that was your Photo History 101 for today ha ha!!

So until next time from my mountain top to yours,
