Please excuse the cross listing.
I'm processing a photograph collection that dates back to the late
1800s through to 2002. In a box with photos from around the turn
of the century, I came across a small envelope with negatives (sized
about 5x7") but there was no label, names or dates.
The envelope looks to be from the original photographer and is in
French. There is a blurb about the use of AGFA roll film and AGFA
Lupex paper. Nicely, I also found a shot of a construction scene
with some kind of bulldozer and a sign for Cain Construction Company,
Washington, DC.
Does anyone have any recommendations for where I could find more
information on Lupex paper or Cain Construction? A lot of the
information I've found on historical photo identification isn't
specific to the brand of print paper or the years they were in
production. I did go to the AGFA web, but didn't find anything
useful.
Thanks for your help!
