The Bulgarian School Boy Album 12
It looks like the Bulgarian school boys are all lined up for inspection. I'd love to know if this album is from a military school or are we dealing with ordinary kids who had to wear uniforms in school.
There is some writing on the back of the top photo, but it's so faded that I didn't think it was worth scanning, but I could make out the date, "1941." The bottom photo shows both boys and girls, all in some sort of uniform. Both scans are from the back of that print, just separated into two parts for easier viewing. The logo is from Leonar Werke, a German photographic supply company that was founded in 1893, in Hamburg. It started manufacturing printing papers for home use in 1907 and quickly became one of the major suppliers in Europe. In 1943, their factories and offices were destroyed when Hamburg became a target of allied bombing. After the war, Lenar rebuilt. In 1964, they merged with Agfa and the brand name was retired.
