Glass views, page four - Europe other than Switzerland, France and Italy

Glass is difficult to photograph -there are various marks caused by light reflection. I will try to mention all marks that actually appear on the images. Some views are much lighter than others. In general that is because the sun came out when I was photographing some - a rare occurence in England. The camera has struggled with a few - especially the interior statue views with a black opaque background. It has decided to put red spots and milky reflections in here and there but, in general, I think you will agree that the photos are pretty good.Images are taken photographically (scanners do not work with glass views due to refraction). They are all taken in natural sunlight and are not enhanced or sharpened. Where there is an expanse of blank sky I have moved in on the image where possible and cut out the sky area. The full extent of each view can be seen on the image of the whole view. First image is the left and the second is the right.

There are some views with minor damage which I have included. All damage is noted. Apart from the odd single-sheet view, these are all professional views - many by Ferrier and Soulier.

Postage on glass views will be charged at cost to us. As an indication, one view costs $18 to the US. For $75 we can get secure insured shipping from Fedex for 2 kg (4.5 lbs) in weight. This represents about 12 views plus packaging. Please note: We GUARANTEE safe arrival.
Please enjoy these views as I have, and marvel at their brilliance. Each thumbnail, when clicked, will produce a large image.

Price $120.

Untitled interior view of the Crystal Palace. Circular crack in the front glass at the bottom of right image.
Order #G205.
Price $130.

This has a title which I can't read. Looks like the Alhambra Court at the Crystal Palace. Not sure what has happened in the center of the left image. It seems as if an area of image has been cleaned off. It has not been apart however and I think this may be a processing fault where it wasn't fixed properly. It will almost view out and, surprisingly, hardly affects the viewing. Excellent clarity and depth.
Order #G206.
Price $90.

This fascinating view has no title. All the binding tape has been lost and it is held together with clear tape top and bottom. Spotting in floor area on both images seems to be processing. There is a slight loss on the left image on the nearest mummy. Classical exhibits can be seen in the next room so this may be the 1862 Exhibition.

This untitled view is of the Waterloo Bridge in North Wales - Yup, I pinched the following description.
Waterloo Bridge. A Telford masterpiece carrying the A5 across Afon Conwy, and the seventh bridge ever built to be constructed of iron. Erected in 1815, and so named after the decisive battle fought in Belgium that year, this landmark in bridge construction was known locally as Y Bont Haearn (The Iron Bridge). The span is 105 feet and the pierced spandrels are splendidly decorated with the leek, rose, shamrock and thistle emblems of Wales, England, Ireland and Scotland. Prominently inscribed in cast iron and covering the full length of the span on both sides are the words "This arch was constructed in the same year the battle of Waterloo was fought." A few years ago the bridge underwent a complete structural overhaul. The days of the horse-drawn coaches carrying the Irish mails, with the accompanying blare from the guard's posthorn echoing across the valley, may be long gone, but this structure still remains as it was then.
