Jougla Glass Negative Archive, c. 1930s–40s","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis evocative French photographic archive brings together a group of glass negatives, protective papers and handwritten notes, all housed in their period Société Lumière \/ J. Jougla box. More than a photographic object, it feels like a fragment of a private story that has somehow survived intact: names, places and everyday scenes identified in handwritten notes, then sealed away for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe box still bears its original label for J. Jougla photographic plates, while the contents retain handwritten references to places and people, including École Militaire, family names, Rue Perrol, and “Poulailler”. One wrapper also appears to carry the date “7-8-44,” adding another intriguing trace to the archive’s history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOne surviving glass plate reveals several figures emerging from the dark negative surface. Viewed today, these fragile images have an almost ghostlike quality, a fleeting moment of ordinary life captured before it disappeared.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photographic glass negative archive with original box and paper ephemera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1930s–1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.
