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. There are many 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.
This set continues a new batch. I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of these 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 should in most cases give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these photos seem to mostly come from a European (or at least France and Italy)vacation, at least from the photos I've been able to identify so far.
Three out of four of these slides are stamped with the date August 1970 with the other not having a date. Google image search helped me with the first and I found a similar photo labeled "The remains of the Scarassoui viaduct" which is in France.
Google image search also helped with the second image. This appears to be the Statue of Benvenuto Cellini at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. Looks like there was a lot of construction going on in 1970...
The third photo is the undated one. It features a little girl but I can't tell where it might have been taken.
The last photo doesn't have very good lighting but Google image search helped me with this one too. This appears to have been taken at the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy.
