Glass Plate #1 found in Tourist Camera

I've bought this "klapp"-type 6x9 camera (Turist by LOMO/GOMZ from 1935) couple years ago and suddenly found its cassettes are loaded with plates. Recently reading some old books on photography I thought I have enough skill now to try developing them. Well, three of them gave some image, though two were pretty alike (man's photo seated at the table). No idea what is on the third - supposedly part of landscape. Supposedly someone was just trying photography, perhaps when the plates were already outdated material. There are a lot of fingerprints and other unwanted marks - supposedly from the clumsy loading of plates. Developed in D-23 controlling visually by briefly switching red LED light.

    @klawe honestly, I feel a bit confused since here "cassette" for glass plate seems to mean the same as "plate holder"... Flat rectangular boxes sliding into the back of the camera. There are small holes or dents in the edge allowing to pick the plate with fingertip, generally...

    I like this image, a window to the past. I know very little about glass plates but find them fascinating :-)
