Notes

8/27/2000 - Most of these glass negatives, while in fairly good condition, show evidence of flaking, pitting and discoloring of the emultion base. It also appears that at some previous time, an attempt was made to clean the emultion side of some of these glass negatives, leaving a smear that affects the resulting print.

General Notes

Note

Notes: This glass-plate negative was part of the "Herb Reynolds Collection of Old Door County Photographs - Reynolds Art Studio Glass Plates". Herb Reynolds was a Sturgeon Bay photographer for many years. After his death, ownership was transfered to Chan Harris, who donated the glass-plate negatives to the Door County Archives Committee in Jan. of 1989. The identity of the original photographer is unknown. There was no print with this negative. Because of the size of the negative, we are unable to scan it with the transparency adapter. Attempts will be made to locate a print from this negative. (Too dark to even get a negative copy) Status: OK

Note

This negative was reshot in May of 2026. There is a larger version on the museum drive
