“Life on Lake Michigan: Photographs from the Early 1900s” features photographs printed from digital scans of antique dry plate glass negatives held in the UW-Parkside Archives documenting Kenosha and Racine counties and surrounding areas. The dry plate glass negatives, like the one on display here, date to the late 1800s and early 1900s, while the digital photographs shown in this exhibition were printed on campus this spring.

What is a Dry Plate glass negative?

The Dry Plate process was first invented in 1871. It replaced a messy and time-sensitive process that required the application of wet chemicals (wet collodion) to a glass plate minutes before a photograph was taken. This means that before the Dry Plate process, a photographer could not take a photograph without having a “dark room” to create a light sensitive “Wet Plate” for use in his or her camera. The Dry Plate process made photography much easier because the light-sensitive silver gelatin emulsion was applied and allowed to dry on the plate before it was used by a photographer.  A photographer could simply carry dry plates and load them into a camera to take a photograph. By the 1880s factory-made silver gelatin dry plates were widely available, and this brought photography to a wide audience of amateur practitioners.  Glass plate photography began to decline when flexible roll film was invented and it virtually disappeared by the mid-1920s, replaced by George Eastman Kodak cameras that used only flexible roll film.
