The collection will now be shown by the Israel Museum. You can read the post <A HREF="http://tracingthetribe.blogspot.com/2008/09/tel-aviv-1800-rare-photographs-found.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>This past Sunday I took my family out on our first "Track Your Ancestors" trip (post coming) and at the end found a huge box full of pictures (and other treasure) taken by my wife's grandmother and great-grandmother. Both were avid photographers and had home darkrooms. Many of the black-and-white pictures were later colored and look amazing. I am going to start scanning and posting about all these finds because they just have to be shared.<BR/><BR/>Great post - as usual!Abba-Dadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16089473766267377501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795151317189963876.post-80211767892272895102008-09-30T10:06:00.000-07:002008-09-30T10:06:00.000-07:00Wonderful, wonderful post! Thank you so much for posting this.<BR/><BR/>I wish that she had mentioned Alice Austen, a Staten Island photographer of the time who took terrific pictures of NYC as well as of her friends and family. I'm distantly related to her, too.Lidianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14609618027313982020noreply@blogger.com
