Memories made of glass by El Andy
|
11 years ago over 1000 glass plate negatives were found hidden behind a wall in the attic of an old house in Debica, Poland. The negatives turned out to be portraits of locals taken by Stefania Gurdowa, a photographer who ran a photography workshop in Debica between 1921 and 1937. When Stefania died in 1968 her apartment was cleaned out and most of her work was lost — except the glass plate negatives, protected behind the wall. You can read more about Stefania Gurdowa and see more of her photos at lensculture.com. [Hace once años más de 1000 negativos fotográficos en placa de vidrio fueron encontrados detrás de una pared en el ático de una vieja casa en Debica, Polonia. Resultó que los negativos eran retratos de los vecinos y fueron tomados por Stefania Gurdowa, fotógrafa propietaria de un estudio fotográfico en dicha ciudad entre los años 1921 y 1937. Cuando Stefania murió en 1968 su departamento fue desalojado y la mayoría de su trabajo se perdió--- excepto por los negativos, protegidos detrás de la pared.

haunting pictures – their eyes are almost piercing… Happy Friday!
Many of them have the same kind of ears. I bet they were relatives
Que interesante historia!!! adoro estas fotografías de retratos antigüos!
oh muy interesante historia me han encantado las fotos, simplemente geniales! amo las fotos antigûas
Incredibly haunting…such somber expressions.
Wow, amazing discovery! I liked specially the pair of pictures of the guy kind of smiling and, beside, the man with the eyepatch. I think I’ve never seen an eyepatch for real!
me neither. pretty damn bad-ass, though. In my imagination he lost an eye in the war doing some heroic stuff.
Wow! How interesting!
bisous,
La C.
