My Dad's 1911 Photos

Detroit Street cene

In 1911 my Dad, Charles B. Moore, was into photography. Here are some of his photos...made on glass plates with a mixture of silver salts mixed with egg whites and gelatin. Some of are beginning to deteriorate. I have quite a few and will add them in the future.
