[Leica] [OM] IMG: Bracelet

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks for looking, Nathan.  At about the time these were made, my 
wife's father had a portrait studio, and her mother often assisted him, 
particularly with tinting.  Chuck Norcutt's comment agreed with my 
conclusion, that these were B&W portraits that were hand-tinted.  I have 
baby portraits of our three boys that were done this way by them, and 
they have also held up well.

My wife was weary of posing for photos, even at an early age.  It is 
fitting that, of the four photos on the bracelet, her's was the only one 
that showed some motion blurring.  She got in the last word. :-)

When my father died in 2004 and I was going through the photos, I found that the ones from the 1930s had held up very well—much better than the ones from the 1950s and 60s, which were made in Communist Poland where people pretended to work and the state pretended to pay them…

On this side are the photos of my wife's father and younger brother, while on the other side of the frames are photos of my wife and her older brother.  I have no idea of the photo process, but the images are well preserved.
