Vintage Photos - Goodwill Lot 1 (333-336)

I decided to indulge my curiosity after getting a new scanner a few years ago and picked up several batches of slides from Goodwill and eBay. I'm not sure why these commonly wind up at places like eBay but many seem to ultimately have come from estate sales. Maybe family members just don't know what to do with them or don't care. I've seen them advertised as being for crafts and such so maybe they are commonly used for that purpose. I was more interested in the actual contents. Each slide is a little slice of history from a particular time and place. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.

I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.

Batch = A bunch of slides I bought in a single purchase. Usually they are from the same ultimate origin but not necessarily. Typically, a batch will have 100s or even 1000s of slides.

Set = Subset of a batch. A group of slides I scan together. There are normally four slides in one set because that's how many slides my scanner can scan at once. Likewise, a post will typically have one set of fours slides. Organizationally, it's just the easiest way for me to handle things.

All of these slides were processed in August 1970. The vast majority of previous photos with that date have been from Italy and that seems to be the case here.

The first photo features a man and (presumably) his son taking a bath. There were a couple of other similar photos in a previous set.

All of the other photos in this set feature artwork in a museum. The first painting featured is "Rest on the Flight into Egypt with St. Francis" by Correggio and was painted around 1520. The second painting is "Diana and the nymphs" and was created circa 1572 by Zucchi Jacopo, the last one is the "Portinari Altarpiece" or "Portinari Triptych" created circa 1475 by Hugo van der Goes. All of these still reside in the Uffizi Galery in Florence Italy where these photos would have been taken.
