“Photographic plates preceded photographic film as a capture medium in photography. The light-sensitive emulsion of silver salts was coated on a glass plate, typically thinner than common window glass, instead of a clear plastic film... Many famous astronomical surveys were taken using photographic plates. A number of observatories maintain large archives of photographic plates, which are used primarily for historical research on variable stars... Many solar system objects were discovered by using photographic plates, superseding earlier visual methods. ” (Wikipedia) The e-bulletin presents articles as well as selections of books, albums, photographs and documents as they have been handed down to the actual owners by their creators and by amateurs from past generations. The physical descriptions, attributions, origins, and printing dates of the books and photographs have been carefully ascertained by collations and through close analysis of comparable works. When items are for sale, the prices are in Euros, and Paypal is accepted. Important notice to collectors : The original prints are nicer than their reproductions
