Worth the viewing...

What an unbelievable
website.
Please read the
instructions before viewing...These pictures are very profound. It is
fortunate that these photos 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 afterwards 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 nearly 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.
Double
click photo to enlarge and read
the rest of the caption.you
can go to right upper photo & hit next. Fabulous
