Rare glimpse of two young girls weaving a rug in the middle east, likely Iran given the other photographs in this collection. Sitting on a hard wood plank, moving up rungs on a ladder as work progresses, one wonders how long they had to work every day at this age making rugs. The patterns used […]

Wonderful vintage photograph taken in 1961 showing a Naegele billboard for downtown Las Vegas and Fremont Street. Go straight ahead and you will find this little town with hotels, motels, stores, theatres, casinos, restaurants, shows and very importantly… ample parking! What a great billboard and advertisement for Las Vegas… as it was over 50 years […]

Nice photograph depicting dozens of people enjoying a show, perhaps a puppet show, in Rome Italy in 1959. Looks like mostly local Italians but likely some tourists in there too. Lots going on in this photograph. Dozens of people and children all dressed very nicely. Many different expressions, some of amazement, some being entertained and […]
Amazing early 1960’s Kodachrome photograph featuring period cars parked under the Stardust sign in daytime in Las Vegas, NV. The detail here is striking. In 1961, the date this photograph was taken, the Stardust was just 3 years old. With the row of cars from the time period, all lined up under the famous Stardust […]
Neat 1961 photograph of a highland cattle bull with longhorns and pasture full of cattle in Colorado. One gets the impression he is looking after, watching and protecting his harem off in the distance. Inquisitive also comes to mind. Deep, rich colors are in this photograph including brown, green and blue. If you look closely […]
