\"Capewell<\/a>It seems like the Capewells<\/em> are getting a lot of attention over at the Facebook page<\/a> for the collection. That’s the wonderful thing about the internet. Sure there is a lot of click-bait<\/em> and useless Top Ten<\/em> lists, but a lot of it is like an infinite curio shop. There is something of interest in there and none of the merchandise is stale. There is always something new to somebody. That seems to be case with this collection of glass negatives that fell into my possession. I ran the 200 negatives once a week on my website until I ran out. Along the way, pieces of the story fell into place thanks to readers and names were matched to faces. It was a nice run.<\/p>\n

If you’re curious, you can find my original articles here<\/a>. The Facebook Page for the collection can be found here<\/a>. If you wish, you can comment at the bottom of this post, on Facebook<\/a> or through our contact page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
