JW's New Zealand, Colour Glass Slides c.1920

One of the amazing colour glass slides I inherited from Jack Mitchell. Shot by Jack, I think, around 1920 in New Zealand. Still trying to decide what to do with them. There are many spectacular images.

Note the UV skin effect- I suppose the films were very UV rich at that point, plus the high altitude... and I don't know what was used for sunblock back then.

Wow, that's cool! You should donate the plates to some historical society that focuses on historical photography, mountaineering, or New Zealand. Or a museum.

Thanks Thomas, I am just trying to figure out which museum etc. will get them. I have some contacts in NZ who knew Jack, so I will rely on them to help me. MTS, given the strong UV absorption in the image, my guess is they had no protectant on at the time of this photograph. The slide has "hot" written on it- they probably would have sweated off anything available in 1920.
