The Linen Closet - a photo on Flickriver

The Linen Closet

            Someone took a series of glass negatives of rooms and furniture in a french house. Not the usual ones, where the family sits around the table or the woman of the house arranges flowers in a vase.
In this haunting photographs open cupboards reveal their untidy content and worn-out armchairs stand in contrast to antiques and elaborate clocks. Someone left his clothes on a chair in the bathroom. A storage room is cluttered with discarded stuff and the cellar is filled with dusty wine bottles. 

Apart from a few framed photographs on a cupboard, there is no living creature to be seen, only the testimonies of their presence. Merely in one of the negatives the blurred ghostlike appearance of a dog passing by the camera can be made out.

In some pictures the objects seem to be arranged. Buckets, which appear to be randomly standing around, appear in a different arrangement in other views.

Take a walk through this house, there are a lot of things to discover. 

Scan from a glass negative. France, 1920s/1930s (?), unidentified photographer.
