[Leica] [OM] IMG: Two From My Archives

Good on you for preserving those memories. I have done the same with my father’s pre-war photographs. In fact, considering that those pictures were made in a poor part of Eastern Poland in the 1920s and 1930s, they have held up amazingly well.

Cheers,
Nathan

Her grandfather is the young man second from the right as you view the photo.  There are some stains from the years that show if one looks too closely.  I did not attempt to remove them.

His younger brother, in front, organized a crew that toured the West offering to convert family pictures into curved-glass covered portraits.  Though most such crews were honest, there were some dissatisfied customers, resulting in signs telling portrait salesmen that they were unwelcome and might be shot.
