These pictures are truly extraordinary. I love the Manhattan street scenes -
in colour! at a time when most people would still use BW film. And as you
say, your aunts are smashing! Thanks for sharing this!

Reminds me of the gentle atmosphere I experienced back in 1964 when I first
discovered your country. The dresses, suits, etc. are so familiar! People
sure did dress up!
