Welcome To Cobweb Prints

"
In attics all across the land,
The cobwebs hide their treasures,

Of bygone days when foreign lands,

And photography were the pleasures."

'The JWB Collection':

This is from a set of over 450 glass plates which were purchased by the site owner in 1998.

The plates were found in a second hand bookshop in Dufftown, located in the Highlands of Scotland.

However, as the entire collection consists mostly of images of southern England and Europe, there is a possibility that the images were either bought in England and moved to Scotland, or perhaps that the photographer moved to Scotland or retired there.

 

Unless someone can come forward and identify the images or the people within them, we may never know who it was that provided us with this unique perspective of life after the turn of the 20th century.

 

Other Images

Apart from 'The JWB Collection', the site owners have a large collection of images from across the world.

There is also a selection of more contemporary images which the owners have created by themselves. The images have been 'retro-processed' to give the look and feel of days gone by.
