Vintage old photographs + Kodak booklet 1930s-1950s retro photo

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot consists of several old photographs, each protected in a transparent sleeve, accompanied by an illustrated booklet from the Kodak brand. On the cover of the booklet, a black and white photograph of two puppies in a basket is visible, with the "Kodak" logo clearly displayed and graphic elements typical of the mid-20th century period. The ensemble evokes a retro universe faithful to the imagery of the 1930s to 1950s.

The visible photographs are inserted into sleeves with a glossy finish, which protect the surface of the prints. No precise details appear on the images themselves through the sleeves, but their rectangular format and presentation suggest vintage silver gelatin prints, commonly used during the first half of the 20th century.

The Kodak booklet, partially covered by the photographs, features a graphic design typical of the brand's promotional or educational material, with black, white, and yellow printing. This type of booklet often accompanied the brand's films or cameras, providing usage tips or examples of photographic achievements.

The set is displayed on a wooden table, in a library interior, highlighting its authentic and carefully preserved nature. The exact number of photographs is not specified, but at least six sleeves are clearly identifiable in the image.

The photographs and the booklet bear witness to a retro style, both in the printing technique and the graphic presentation of the Kodak booklet. This lot will be perfect for those seeking old visual documents, for both their aesthetic and documentary interest.

Did you know? Founded in 1888, Kodak pioneered the popularization of amateur photography thanks to its accessible cameras and promotional materials. Kodak booklets from the 1930s to 1950s often accompanied camera or film sales, providing advice and examples to improve family photography practice.
