- Bundle of Photographic Plate Holders, Addressed to George Ebling of Ford Motor Company, 1920-1940 - Dry plate photography was a primary photographic method until the invention of roll-film in the 1880s. Glass plates coated with light-sensitive gelatin were placed into holders, and exposed in a camera. George Eastman automated this process with his plate-coating machine and factory in 1879. Exacting and demanding, plate-based photography was the opposite of being a mobile or spontaneous process.
