These antique, hand-painted photographs are so lovely. They're so fun to use. I wish I had lots more! Unfortunately, they're very difficult to find in the antique stores near me.
This is a very pretty antique postcard that was published in 1908. I love the composition of this old black and white photo. All that negative space to the right of the image of the woman allows for a mixed media artist to add all sorts of elements.
Here is the last of a group of vintage, black and white photos I got from an antique shop. These photos were taken in the 1930's. I've posted another set of 3 photos from the same group over at The Antique Image.
