[Leica] IMG: Summer of 1950

[Jean-Michel Mertz]

 Bonjour Peter,
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!
JM
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!
