Description
Just to let you know I didn't take this picture. It was taken by my Great Great Grandfather sometime before 1923. My Grandfather passed away recently and when we were going through his posessions, we came across some old photo equipment. I didn't look through it at the time. Several months had passed and when I got around to it I found an old ICA Dresden camera, two glass developing trays, a strange looking developing tank that looks more like a medievil torture device and this one 4 x 5 negative. I deceide to make a contact print of it. Several people have told me that I need to "clean it up" But I think it looks good the way it is. Just thought I would share a really cool find with all of you. Thanks for looking and as always comments are welcome.

Fantastic piece of history, and of emotion too. Be proud to have these jewels. Each shot is an emotion, a particular feeling, and a part of your gran gran father... So sorry for him, and for you. I hope you'll show us other marvels as this one. Thank you for sharing.
