[Leica] Old "Estamperia Artigues"

[lug at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

A _very_ nice set Luis - difficult to pick a favourite, but the ones of the
children looking into the shop are probably the ones I liked the best. Nice
to see a couple of self portraits too <grin>

It's sad to see a 'real' shop like this close, especially if it was still
profitable to the owner. No doubt it will be replaced by yet another shop
selling tourist rubbish. To quote Joni Mitchell, "You don't know what you've
got 'til it's gone".

Thanks for sharing these, I really enjoyed looking at them.
