The LARGEST Photographic slides ever discovered! 3 Gigabyte 19th Century Photographs.
A step into the twilight zone of 19th century photography, and 17th century video.

Discovered in a backyard shed in Australia 3,500 19th century photographs, 3 are now on Unesco's world heritage list as being the largest every photographic plates. Weighing in at a whopping 3 gig file size, and did you know there was video in the 17th century?

edit: The shed where photos were found was Chatswood NSW not Victoria.
Thanks to Shaun O'Co comment for picking that up.

I've have wondered for a long time, how some of these 19th century photographs could be so very clear and crisp.
