Reed Collection of Salisbury Beach Glass Plate Negatives, undated
This collection consists of 95 glass plate negatives of Salisbury Beach, Massachusetts. Images were taken most likely in the early 20th century, and include: the boardwalk, cars (Model T era), amusement-park rides, the beach, storefronts, horse and buggies, and groups of people. Due to the name of the collection, it is believed that Selwyn C. Reed (1845-1920) was the photographer.
