Thanks for looking! This auction is for an original 4x5 glass plate negative from September 5,1897, of "Myself near fence" aka James R. Gerling, who was usually the photographer. Mr. Gerling took many very good photos on glass plates from 1897-1910 or so, and I will be listing them as time permits. This negative is #16 in the collection, as the photographer was organized enough to keep a list of them all. If you have any questions, just ask!
