[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 376540, member: 84"]I found this old photo album filled with 81 photographs at an estate sale last week end. I am wondering now if these are photos taken by a vacationer in Paris(?) or Europe(?) or were just souvenirs bought before going back home - because some have what looks like the location was written into the negative before printing & some even have raised seals/stamps that I've been able to find out are called 'blind stamps'. If it has a 'blind stamp' was that a souvenir (I can't see (no pun intended) someone having a blind stamp added to their photo if they weren't blind)? And I'm sorry if I sound like a idiot - but a blind person can't see the photograph to begin with, so why a stamp on it for a blind person to 'read? The ones that have the info in white on the photos - were they written into the negative first? How old are these photos? Thank you - as always I appreciate the help.
