There's an unlabelled wooden box in my Grandfather's slide collection containing 100 (well, 103 if you count the loose ones) slides remounted in glass slide mounts.
This contains all the photographs from a mysterious holiday that appears to have involved visiting various parts of Italy and, on closer examination, appears to have started off in the rather exotic location of Monte Carlo which we covered in my previous blog.
Now, I've been having "issues" with the way this blog composition software handles multiple photographs around some text, so, for a while, I'm just going to generally let the pictures speak for themselves, especially as these appear mostly to be little more than Monte-Carlo street scenes that conjure up a lost world that many of us never knew.
How strange that something so ordinary looking can hold such treasures. Each of those pictures is a gem it its own right and so brilliantly retro. I wonder if the selfies of today will have as much charm in their tomorrows.
