Foto c. 1895 - 1925

"Foto" is a glass plate negative, a type of photographic image made by W.G. Hondius van den Broek, circa 1895-1925. The photograph depicts a man in a seated position, possibly holding a small child or object. The negative is a historical document that offers insight into the techniques and subjects favored in early photography. The small size and the faded tones of the image evoke a sense of nostalgia and hint at the delicate nature of glass plate negatives.
