Riverside scene with boats, glass plate negative, 1865

A damaged glass plate negative shows a faint riverside scene with boats on the water and buildings and figures on the bank, while torn paper, handwritten marks and a small red stain frame the edges. Faded tones and scratches obscure most of the detail.
