Korona Film Holder, 1902-1920
01
Artifact Overview
Wet plate photography was a primary photographic method until the invention of roll-film in the 1880s. Metal or glass plates were coated with light-sensitive collodion, placed into holders, and exposed in a camera. Before the plate dried, it was developed in a darkroom. Exacting and demanding, wet plate photography was the opposite of being a mobile, spontaneous, or user-friendly process.
