Glass Plate Negatives; 8 cm x 8 cm; 14 items

‘Paget Prize Plates – Lantern Slow’ box containing fourteen glass plates. The annotation on the front of the box reads: ‘Slides of road to monastery from station. To be mounted as stereo’. Contains seven stereo negative plates (fourteen in total) of scenes around the Capuchin Friary, Rochestown, County Cork. Includes one scene of a small tugboat at Queenstown Harbour, the mill on the road to Rochestown, and one of the Capuchin Friary at Rochestown.

Print on the box reads: ‘Open only in a ruby light’. There is evidence that the emulsion is fading causing some image loss. Interleaving tissue has been placed between the plates in the box. Damage has been caused by contact between the plates and due to previous poor storage.
