I love old glass negatives, I bought these at a flea market years ago and scanned them with my regular flatbed scanner. I should one day have them properly scanned. Amsterdam:

I bought these glass negatives in an antique shop the other day as a sneak peek in the box revealed they definitely weren't photographs of antiquities from Avebury & Silbury (or if they were, explosive revelations await us) As it turns out, the images aren't as exciting as I hoped: but still pleased

Photograph of six glass negatives on a light box next to their original box, which has a handwritten note about Avebury and Silbury, and the year 1922, on the lid. The images show cuneiform and hieroglyphic inscriptions plus part of the Rosetta stone

While this post and the comments below cover a far wider debate, we can't help remembering that 'Photographica World' carried an article on the history of speed cameras a few years ago, running from the 1890s thro' Gatso, Robot, Traffipax ( and even referencing a 'Columbo' episode...) #photohist
