Margot.l.riley incorrectly cited a reference which does not support the edit:

"the UNESCO-listed collection of negatives, known as The Holtermann Collection, including the World's largest known glass plate negatives, is housed in the State Library of New South Wales."

Reference Davies, Alan (2013). The Greatest Wonder of the World. Sydney: State Library of New South Wales. p. 12 states that

resulted in the production of the world’s largest wet plate negatives and several panoramas. One measuring 10 m long impressed audiences overseas and received the Bronze award at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876 and a Silver Medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle Internationale in 1878.

There is nothing in the reference stating that the collodion negative survives and is in the collection of the Library. The Library does own 5 larges albumen prints [1], but no mention of the glass plates. This same erroneous edit was removed from the photographic plate article.NotaBene 鹰百利 ^Talk 23:27, 22 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
