Both prints feature scalloped edges, typical of amateur prints from the mid-20th century. The black and white images each offer a different scene: one shows three people posing outdoors, two of whom are in religious attire, surrounded by vegetation and a building in the background; the second captures two women on a stone balcony, in front of an architectural facade adorned with exposed stone, likely from a villa or bourgeois house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe vertical Kodak booklet is made of light brown paper and features red and black graphic printing. It clearly reads: \"PRODUITS Kodak EN VENTE ICI\"; the typography and graphic style evoke the 1930s to 1950s, a period of widespread distribution of Kodak products in France. This booklet often accompanied photo print pouches or served as advertising material in photography stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two photographs show good sharpness, with a marked contrast typical of vintage silver halide films. The serrated edges are clearly visible and regular, with no apparent tears on the shown side. The captured scenes reflect the lifestyle and clothing codes from the early to mid-20th century, with attention paid to posing and the architectural or vegetal background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe presentation in the photo, with the two prints placed in front of the Kodak booklet, highlights the authenticity and retro spirit of the ensemble. The visual state of preservation appears generally good for the whole: the photos do not show major stains, creases, or obvious missing parts on the visible side, although one shows a slight mark at the bottom of the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ensemble constitutes a photographic and material testament to amateur practice and the diffusion of Kodak products in France from the 1930s to the 1950s. It is an ideal lot for decoration, period documentation, or retro-themed scrapbooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed lot sold as is.

Scalloped edges were a common finish offered by development labs during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour order will be carefully prepared, suitably packaged, and quickly shipped by a professional seller specializing in antique and vintage items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: antique photo, vintage photography, silver halide print, Kodak booklet, 30s retro, antique photo pouch, old photo lot, vintage photograph, black and white print, religious photo, retro decoration, vintage scrapbooking\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54489363251527,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_73042e79-0bc8-4f4d-baf1-a67808cd5044.jpg?v=1785628291","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/lot-photos-anciennes-noir-et-blanc-livret-kodak-vintage-retro-annees-30-50","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
