These images are taken from Illustrirte Zeitung Magazine. There are about 1200 of these magazines from 1930 to 1939. This is going to be a big set." - Let's hope so!

Photography was invented in the 1820s and developed and popularized during the rest of the century. The second half of the 19th century also saw big changes in painting - realism, impressionism and post-impressionism. This site in Spanish describes the influence which the invention of photography had on 19th century painting. Enjoy the pictures if you don't understand Spanish.

An old forgotten photo that I found in an antique/thrift store yesterday. The man running the place said the photo had come from a (probably long gone) restaurant called Pelikan in Solna (in or close to Stockholm) that supposedly had variety shows. I think it's more plausible it came from an old cinema. Be that how it may, she is a great beauty that deserves to be shown.
