Info 53: vintage pics, new blogs found

Prince Albrecht, Bavaria.


I searched for good vintage pics some days ago but couldn't find good websites (as I told before pics often not tagged properly).
Yesterday I found very good blogs with vintage photographs, CDV (carte de visite), postcards etc. Royalties and unknown people.

Some blogs are just for fun others for identifying people and reunite families, others are interested in the story behind the pics and the time, others are collectors and salesmen.

Some pics might still be copyrighted (or at least watermarked) and some people are maybe still living. Some blogs even has pics until the 1970s.

The links are showing boys in sailor suits (some with girls) but if you search you might find other interesting pics (maybe Lederhosen and overalls). The pics above are taken from loc.gov. I have also linked my open Picasa albums on the right.

Many high res pics are on this site, lots of German ones (tags children, families, nautical), I like

Lots of good vintage pics here, I like King Baudouin of Belgium (1930-1993), son of King Leopold III
