| double
exposure [n] |

film negative that has two separate images in the same frame: the photographer

exposure causes a ghostlike appearance in the first image taken.

| glass-plate
negative [n] |
|
a
rectangle of clear glass covered with a thin coat of a chemical called
silver nitrate, that was used to make photographs in the last half of the
nineteenth century before the invention of film. The glass plate was placed
inside a camera and when the shutter was opened to take a picture, light
caused the silver nitrate to turn black. This negative image was laid on
light-sensitive paper and exposed to light, resulting in a positive print.
