baleanoptera: (WWII Shorpy riveter yellow and blue)
In 1928 there was a huge fair in this city, and part of the attractions of this fair was a photograph stand. It was called Pictures while you wait, and was literary that. In its time it was cutting edge technology, and people flocked to have their photos taken – and took the images home with them.

Now the years pass, and the fair and its photos were more or less forgotten – until someone uncovered boxes upon boxes of the photo negatives. Suddenly, by developing the negatives, you could see all the different faces of the people visiting the fair. Young and old, rich and poor. There was one problem though, and that was that none of the negatives was marked or named. So the people in the photos were by and large unknown.

Lots of fascinating pictures! See them while you wait! )
