ted_stoddard Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Hello All: I do not know if this is a good place to put it but, I am gonna post it here.... I have read an article that Luis Nadeau sent out about a Darkroom that had not been touched from 1840's to 1855... The photographer died in 1855 and ever since his mysterious death in 1855 the family closed the doors and left it closed for over a century untouched and unseen.... The last heir discovered it and its a long story but click on the link to read more but I warn you its in French... I translated the article so I could read it... http://www.lejsl.com/actu/setl/20070529.JSA0343.html Just to tell you a little more about it, they found over 400 books and hundreds of chemical bottles still unused and in original bottles... They show a pic of the darkroom.... I would love to be there giving them a hand cataloging all the items... I think its an amazing find... I hope they preserve it and maybe it will be one of the tourists spots in France....__________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
