IMS Vintage Photo’s first ever auction
Welcome to the first edition of our own photo auctions! All the items are original vintage photos, some by well known photographers, others by unknown. They have been selected most of all because of themselves, what they depict, but also due to being original vintage - meaning they are “living history”, having been printed in proximity to when the photo negative was taken. All of these photographs come straight from some of the foremost daily newspaper archives in Europe, and some have not seen daylight for 50 or 60 years! Here is your chance to invest in historical photo journalistic collectibles - combining documentary and art.
