Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1669-1672)

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 few large batches 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 so far: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

All of the photos in this set were taken in August and September 1957. The first and third were taken at the same time and feature two ladies (I'm guessing mother and daughter) standing outside their home and next to their car. The other two were taken in August 1957 and show a family (at least I think I can safely say that this is a husband and wife and their two kids) posing inside their home on the couch.
