1 negative : glass ; 8 x 10 in.


A glass plate negative from 1920 showing a family group photographed with a dog on a porch. The image was made by Theodor Horydczak, a commercial photographer working in Washington, D.C.

The negative measures 8 by 10 inches, a standard professional format of the period. Glass plates predated flexible film as the photographer's medium of choice and required careful handling and storage.

The Library of Congress holds this negative as part of the Theodor Horydczak collection. No further details about the sitters or the location survive in the archive record.

Compiled from the catalogue record and reference notes on the formats and events involved. The archive record above is the primary source.
