Transparency, Lantern Slide
- Title:
- Bearing Loads
- Date:
- 1880-1909
- Dimensions:
- Print Size: 4 x 3
- Description:
- Glass plate positive, in which the emulsion sits between two glass plates. Most lantern slides are sealed on all four slides, but this one is not. The ability for air to get in between the two pieces of glass most likely caused the cracking and loss of emulsion. Attributed to T.E.M. White, as found with his collection of glass plate negatives. Image shows a man pushing a four-wheeled cart full of sacks, coming from the left side of the frame toward the right. A woman near the center of the frame is almost facing the photographer and is carrying a pail and a basket, both full. A woman facing toward the right, and in the right-hand side of the image, is carrying a laden basket. The ground seems to be bare dirt, and trees form the background.
- Provenance:
- Glass plate negatives were delivered to the Museum in their orginal wooden crates. The crates were stamped "T.E.M. White North Conway NH."
