Civil War Photos..very rare!

1 post in this topic

What an unbelievable website. I was totally in awe when I found it and went through the these very rare photos.

Please read the instructions before viewing .......THESE PICTURES ARE VERY PROFOUND It is fortunate that these have survived. Most probably a million wet plate photos were made during the civil war on glass plate.

Popular during the war, they lost their appeal after wards and so many were sold for the glass. Many used in green houses. Over the years the sun caused the images to disappear.

These are pretty amazing considering they were taken up to 150 years ago: A compendium of photos from era of the War Between the States. Run the cursor over the photograph and the picture caption will pop up.
