It's time to start another collection. As a rule if I buy an envelope full of material related by theme, and if it's a mixture of photographs, postcards, and non photo ephemera, I'll post anything that started life in a camera here, and the non photos on my Fair Use blog. This collection is related not just by theme, but it all originates from the same source, so it will all end up on The New Found Photography. I've got postcards, some photographic, some pure illustration; I've got guide books, a passport pamphlet, a letter, and even a sketch. So, why is the record of a European trip starting off in Missouri? Well, our traveler had to start form somewhere.
Lake Tanycomo, short for Lake Tanny County, Missouri, is actually a reservoir on the White River in the Ozark Mountains. It's near Branson, the country music and kitsch capitol of south central Missouri. St. Louis, of course, needs no explanation.
Because there is a lot of material in this collection, it will get posted with more than a few interruptions, so, when things progress, The Post War European Trip Collection in labels will be helpful.
