The plates visible in the image are rectangular, made of glass or similar material, typical of photographic processes used between the 1930s and 1950s. They show a translucent or opaque surface depending on the angle, which suggests photographic negatives or projection plates. The set is completed by a yellow illustrated folder with retro graphics, part of which depicts a stylized character with a camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main booklet, made of thick beige paper, features a cover with typography and a logo characteristic of photographic businesses from the early to mid-20th century. One can clearly read the words \"Appareils et fournitures de toutes marques\" (Cameras and supplies of all brands) and a five-digit phone number, typical of the pre-1960 period. The cover shows some fold marks on the upper left corner, with no major visible tears. The contrast between the booklet's patina and the glossy appearance of the plates accentuates the authenticity of this vintage lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographic plates are stacked in a fan, allowing several examples with neat edges and smooth surfaces to be seen. Some show slight reflections or traces of handling, testifying to their age. No clichés are directly visible in the photo, but the presentation suggests a homogeneous set of old photographic archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set is placed on a wooden background in front of a bookcase of old books, reinforcing the retro aesthetic and historical interest of this lot. The visible objects are in used condition, with wear consistent with their age, which accentuates their authentic and decorative character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe illustrated yellow cover, partially covered by the plates, adds an additional graphic touch, typical of old advertising materials or photographic storage folders.
