1930s - Vintage French Photo Lot - Gevaert Film & Paper Ephemera Collection

This captivating lot offers a glimpse into 1930s French life, featuring a charming collection of vintage black and white photographs and original Gevaert film ephemera. A true treasure for collectors of historical photography and French memorabilia.

The photographs depict everyday moments, from stylish individuals in urban settings to family scenes with vintage cars. Accompanying these visual stories are one original Gevaert sleeve, in French: one for 'RIDAX' contact printing paper and 'ORTHOBROM' enlarging paper, and another advertising 'PANCHRO NORMAL' safety film for cinema. These pieces provide fascinating insight into period photography technology and usage. 'Pour vos tirages - Le papier idéal pour les tirages par contact.' (For your prints - The ideal paper for contact prints.) and 'Faites du Cinéma avec nos Gevaert SAFETY FILM PANCHRO NORMAL' (Make Cinema with our Gevaert SAFETY FILM PANCHRO NORMAL) offer a blend of personal history and technical heritage.
