I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. 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.
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.
Like a few of the recent sets, all of the slides in this set were processed in August 1970 and were most likely taken in Italy.
Google images identifies the artwork in the first image as Adoration of the Magi - Gentile da Fabriano (c. 1370 – 1427) which is currently in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
Google images identifies the second image as a photo of the Gates of Paradise, a pair of gilded bronze doors created in the 1400s that were designed by the sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti for the north entrance of the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Florence, Italy.
It's a little less clear exactly where the last two photos were taken though it appears they were taken at the same place and time. Looks like maybe a group of people coming out of a church. This is almost certainly in Italy and probably in Florence.
