Description: A substantial archive of vernacular snapshot photography all originating from the same, almost certainly Austrian, family and dated between 1927 and 1935. More than 1,200 images focus on what appear to be travel and holidays, often in the Alps. The images range from typical point and shoot family views to significantly more considered, artful impressions of the human figure, Alpine scenery, city views, etc... all combining to form a lovely and broad archive of Austrian vernacular photography in the era just prior to the onset of World War II. Albums are a blend of seemingly hand-assembled, matching black paper volumes and several with colorful paper covered boards (one of which bears a tag from a Vienna photo supply shop). [Vernacular Photography]. [Austrian Snapshot Album Archive]. [Austria]: (1927-1935). 23 photo albums. Various outside dimensions from 6” x 4” to 8” x 5 1/2.” Holding more than 1,200 black and white snapshot photographs to rectos and versos of paper leaves. Prints range in size from about 2 1/2” square to approximately 5” x 3 1/2.” Some infrequent handling wear and a few perished prints from pages, otherwise all uncommonly clean and well preserved. About very good-plus. FREE FedEx shipment to The USA, safely packed and promptly dispatched same business day as payment. Thanks for looking and please don't hesitate with questions.
