Good luck. I have several very nice photographs of unknowns. I’ve often wondered who they were and what their lives were like.

The short of it is that these photos end up in antique stores and the like either because there was no one left to bequeath them to (end of the bloodline) or no one cared enough about the distant/unfamiliar relative to keep the photos.

I always think it’s a shame to see lovely photos in a basket in an antique store going for a buck apiece.

Nice photos, by the way. Someone took them who knew what they were doing.

Sadly, the digital generation won't even have that. Bit rot and cheap, chinese hardware will destory them all.
