A travel in time Photo Gallery by Paco López at pbase.com

A travel in time

In 1905-1906 the grandfather of my wife was working as a freelance for some sexy publications and for some publicity agencies. He worked with a stereoscopic camera and a special film over crystal support.
Almost all the production he made is lost or broken but we have some shots in a quite good condition.
We don´t have the camera, and we don´t know the brand and the model. We have only some parts of the enlarger, and the viewer for this "slides".

This gallery is a little tribute to this great photographer. Please excuse the the quality of the images... 100 years is a lot of time!

Those were the days when technology was less and creativity was more. Good you saved some of them.

Lo dicho, me he perdido muchas cosas durante estos meses de ausencia. Excelente trabajo de recuperación. Como dice Josefina, ni se imaginaban que 100 años después serían contemplados por tanta gente. -V-

Wow! Fascinating gallery!! It sure is interesting how the mores of sexual attraction change so much over time.

This is a wonderful gallery and tribute to a fine photographer of his day. Full of special images that were taken from an era were photographers had only scratched the surface of what we have in this day and age. Thank you for sharing his work with us here on PBase, Paco. You must be very proud. BV!! Kind regards, Graeme

Super images from a time gone by. It just saddens me that you get such comments from a low life guest. I hope you are leaving that comment there as a testament to the idiots that are out there. They walk among us. Sad sacks. Anyhow it has not detracted from a wonderful gallery. Rudi
