Taking
A Picture:
The
cameras used by the Detroit Publishing Company photographers
were heavy and bulky. Instead of photographic film,
the cameras used plates of glass. The photographer would
have to wait until he got back to the studio before he
could develop the glass plates and make prints.

Negatives
produced on glass made exceptionally fine quality prints.
This glass plate negative measures 4 x 5 inches –
the size that the Premo “Senior” camera used.
