I didn't get if they found out who was in these pictures, the woman is simply beautiful. But then, what was meant to be private perhaps should remain private?
I'd be more interested in the camera though, it is written in the article that it was a Leica but not the model. I mean, the quality is just amazing. | Quote: |  | | | "I was not sure which of my old Leica cameras the film cassette had come with.

I thought the woman was very pretty and the doggy was lovely as well. Hope someone recognises the people in the photos and claims them, it would be lovely if they are someones parents or grandparents.

I'd say the woman's clothes are early 50s. I have photos of my mum taken in 1951 and she's dressed like this.

They do not look ‘Swiss’ to me. My Dad (with deep Bern roots) also has the cleft chin. But here the mouth and the stature looks imperialistic.

It's a good puzzle.
They don't look so ordinary to me, contrary to article.
