Vintage Mannings Masks Photography, 2 1/4 x 3 1/2 glass plate Original package!

Description

Ultra Rare and hard to find. Manning's Masks. From the early 1900's. Looks like a complete set (10).
These were an old school method of adding effects to the photographs you produce.  Adding a frame to a photograph by overlaying one of these frame border masks onto the negative, then exposing the image, would create a photograph with the border as part of the image.  There were many other kinds of contrast masks as well, Shadow Contrast to increase the depth of fine black details, Highlight masks to add density and contrast etc.   Basically an analogue version of Photoshopping images, performed at the negatives level.
