On this page are collected the highlights of the second book of negatives found in the basement of a flea market in Texas.
It was post war and the photographer apparently wandered about England as an ordinary tourist. Those photographs were covered on Post War Page One. Now Page Two will contain the photographs in the set that apparently were taken after arrival back in the United States.
In this group the photographer often took many frames of the same scene or subject. Presented here will be only the best of the series. Some frames have accompanying descriptions and these will be included here.
For a review of the entire 205 negatives, go HERE.
