A cool photograph circa 1850s - 7/28/2011 6:35:15 AM    baltbottles   Posts: 2298 Joined: 11/25/2002 From: Baltimore Maryland Status: offline I stumbled across this image taken from Federal hill in the 1850s the building in the foreground is the Baltimore Glass Works on Hughes street. Not a great image of the Glass works but the only actual picture I have ever seen of it.

I like the steam paddlewheeler in the back. I think I see a flask laying on the ground. Dig there. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to baltbottles) Post #: 2

Just out of curiosity, what is the state of photography in the 1850s? I know they couldn't phtograph moving objects very well, yet this has a crisp and clear look to it.

Have you seen those? Are folks allowed to dive on these old ships? I am not a diver and I live too far away now to do anything about it anyway, but I was always curious about those ships. _____________________________ Always looking for veterinary bottles, American and foreign.
