Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1589-1592)

in #photography2 years ago

See the previous post in this series here.

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.

This set continues a large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

There's a mix of stuff in this set of slides, none of which are labeled or dated. However, like most of these I've posted lately I believe they were all taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s. The first is a flower photos and looks to be the same subject as a couple of the photos in a previous set. The second was taken at a funeral and is the most interesting of the set. Not because it is a funeral but because of all the people and old cars that can be seen. The third was taken looking out across a waterway of some kind but I don't know where it was taken. The final shot is through the woods. There's some kind of structure in the distance...maybe a gazebo...










The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
