Thank-you for posting.

Some of these glass plates were actually used in greenhouses many years ago. Over time, the rays of the sun erased the images from the glass....lost to history forever.

I’m glad others survived the ravages of time.

>> Popular during the war, they lost their appeal afterwards and so many were sold for the glass. <<

I have heard this as well. I heard that some were used to make greenhouses, and the sun eventually ruined any images left on the glass. :(

This is an incredible series of photographs...total frustration in clicking to enlarge. Thinking its time for a new computer. Want to save for later..never bookmarked anything...how do I do it? I want to see all these photos enlarged. Amazing clarity.

Thanks so much

I am half way through Shelby Footes trilogy about the Civil War (great read) so this is timely.
