This is one of my favorite “before and after” pair of photographs from the collection. These glass negatives were separated from each other and found after reference photographs of the Baltimore City Life Museum 8x10 inch glass negatives were shot. Although it was not written on the sleeves, it appears the second photograph was taken after the Great Fire of 1904.
