It’s a Saturday morning in Paris and you know what that means….Flea Markets! Mark Osterman and France Scully met up with some of the fellows to look for photographic treasures in the open markets of Porte de Vanves in order to buy photographs for our own personal collections. We spent the entire morning scouting out good deals on all types of photographs -especially the ones that are hard to come by in the United States.
Gawain found a collection of additive screen plates, which was quite appropriate given his interest in early color photographic processes. Mark just missed purchasing a large format wet plate era camera, but France reminded him that they already have several of those at home. Rosina found a photographic album full of cabinet cards and Rachel was pleased when she found a stereo French tissue. All in all it was a successful day and a great way to end our stay in Paris.
