Description: YOU ARE BIDDING ON THE NEGATIVE ONLY, THE PAPERS PICTURED ARE FOR EXPLANATION ONLY. THE PAPERS SHOWN ARE NOT FOR SALE. You are bidding on ONE GLASS NEGATIVE per auction. This one is: ANTIQUE GLASS NEGATIVE, F. C. PHILPOT, LIMERICK ME, FIELD, LAKE, MOUNTAINS VISTAS. As seen in the pictures. I AM NOT SURE WHERE THIS IS LOCATED. ANY INFO ON THE IMAGE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. DRY EMULSION. I AM 98% SURE THIS GLASS NEGATIVE WAS TAKEN BY FRED C. PHILPOT OF LIMERICK, MAINE. SEE BELOW. THIS NEGATIVE WAS IN A LARGE LOT OF GLASS NEGATIVES BOUGHT AT AN ESTATE AUCTION IN OSSIPEE, NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE ESTATE WAS FROM A LONG TIME RESIDENT OF LIMERICK, MAINE. THE ESTATE BUILDING WAS A COMMERCIAL BUILDING ON THE MAIN STREET IN LIMERICK ORIGINALLY OWNED BY THE TOWNSENDS. THE LARGE LOT OF ANTIQUE GLASS NEGATIVES WERE FOUND IN A CABINET IN THE DARK ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR. THE NAME ON THE ESTATE WAS NOT PHILPOT BUT IN THE LOT OF GLASS NEGATIVE THERE MANY SMALL HANDBILLS OR SMALL BROADSIDES (see last 3 pictures) WHICH WERE FOR THE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER "FRED C. PHILPOT" OF LIMERICK, MAINE. THERE IS ONE NEGATIVE SHOWING HIS TRAVELING CART WITH DARKROOM. A COUPLE OF THE NEGATIVES HAVE HIS NAME ON IT. FROM MY RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT FRED C. PHILPOT WAS BORN IN LIMERICK, MAINE, AND WORKED AS A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER IN SANFORD, SPRINGVALE (part of Sanford), LIMERICK, CORNISH, MAINE AREAS; AND MILTON MILLS, NEW HAMPSHIRE AREA, CIRCA 1875 AND 1925. "MAINE MEMORY NETWORK" SHOWS SOME OF HIS IMAGES BUT NOT THESE GLASS NEGATIVES. THIS NEGATIVE WAS PROFESSIONALLY SCANNED BY THE PENOBSCOT MARINE MUSEUM (SEARSPORT, MAINE) AND THIS IS THE POSITIVE IMAGE. APPROXIMATELY 2MG RESOLUTION. WITH A LITTLE DIGITAL WORK, YOU CAN MAKE PRINTS FROM THIS NEGATIVE. PRINTED IN: POSSIBLY: SANFORD, SPRINGVALE (part of Sanford, Maine), LIMERICK, CORNISH; AND MILTON MILLS (NEW HAMPSHIRE) AREAS, I believe. DATE: Late 1800s to Early 1900s GLASS SIZE: 7" wide by 5" tall. CONDITION: VERY VERY GOOD CONDITION WITH A FEW SMALL IMPERFECTIONS. TWO SPOTS WILL NEED TO BE "FIXED" DIGITALLY. WITH A LITTLE DIGITAL WORK, YOU CAN MAKE PRINTS FROM THIS NEGATIVE. SHIPPING & HANDLING: I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ORDERS. SHIPPING TO THE 48 CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES WILL BE $10.00 VIA U.S.P.S. PRIORITY CLASS MAIL. OTHER MAILING AREAS WILL BE DETERMINED BY DISTANCE AND TYPE REQUESTED. I ship via U.S.P.S. only.
