| 1221466 | 2011-08-07 23:36:00 | Both very interesting indeed. Thanks zqwerty. I am always very impressed by the quality of the photographs taken in those years. It is always excellent. Makes you wonder why some of the media portray photographs of that time in poor quality when, as you can see, the quality is almost as good as today. I'm certain that the high quality had a lot to do with the large glass plates that they used. These plates captured a lot of information which made for a great photograph. |

| 1221467 | 2011-08-08 02:43:00 | Thanks, zwerty. I'm a baby boomer so the pics are before my time, but always good to have a reminder of the reality of the times. I can't help but comment though, some of the American images seem very posed, and the women seem like models. | WalOne (4202) | ||

The article says Kodachrome transparencies. More info. here www.historicphotoarchive.com Doesn't say if transparencies were produced in any format other than 35mm. |
