- Description
- Box of one dozen 3 1/4 x 5 1/2 glass Seed’s Dry Plates with cut paper adhesive tape around the edges and bottom and manufacturer details printed on a pale green background throughout the lid. These dry plates were invented by M.A. Seed in 1879 and became very popular with photographers as the plates came pre-prepared with the emulsion layer already applied - prior to “dry” plates, photographers would need portable dark rooms in which they would create their liquid emulsions prior to taking a photograph [known as “wet” plates]. Seed’s dry plates still required they be opened in a dark room, but this could be accomplished in the field by placing a dark sheet over the camera while loading and unloading the plates. In 1902, Eastman Kodak purchased Seed’s company [Seed Dry Plate Co.], but continued to capitalize on his name due to its reputation among consumers.
