printing from old negatives to glass

I attended an art show in Denver yesterday and saw that an artist had printed old photographs on glass. The only thing I inherited from my father was my grandfather's negatives. They are 5 in by 6 in and I would love to display them this way.

Does anyone know how this was done or could be done? Can I do it myself?

Well you dont mention your level of experience, if you have a

darkroom, are you an experienced printer?

Anyhow, you can get liquid emulsions and coat the glass, then it

would be a matter of enlarging the negative onto the glass, of course

you would need an enlarger that has a 5x6 neg carrier.

From your question I suspect you would be better off paying someone

to do it. Good luck!

You could also contact them and then mount them in an 11x14 matt in an artful way. Just another thought.

Cheers

You could also project them onto sheets of print film, and end with large transparencies. It's done all the time.
