This is a good little story about a guy who is a photograph collector who ended up with a collection of photographs by J.R. Eike.
This is from KETC in St. Louis. The show is “Living in St. Louis” and the segment by Anne-Marie Berger is “Glass Plate Photographs”.
I liked the show. The only thing that drove me nuts was the nonsense mentioning that luckily he could use his digital scanner instead of a darkroom. Gag.
More important than the video is the web site where he has pictures that document St. Louis in the early 1900s. Great stuff. Here is the web site of Thomas Kempland and has glass plate collection
