Vintage Photos - Oestreicher (1597-1600)

See the previous post in this series here.

I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay (sometimes via estate sales). There are many thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here for posterity.

This set continues a large batch of slides that originally came from an estate sale and appear to have belonged to a locally well known photographer from the Spokane Washington area named Leo Oestreicher, or perhaps a friend or family member of his. These slides contain some landscape and portrait photos but also a lot of typical snapshot photos. Here's an article on him from 1997 which is the only info I have found on him: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jan/04/photos-of-a-lifetime-museum-acquisition-of-leo/

Many of these slides had the date they were processed stamped or printed on them. In most cases these photos were probably taken relatively near the processing date.

The first photo in this set was processed in May 1959 and features a woman stepping across a road among some ancient ruins. Maybe in Rome or elsewhere in Italy? The second photo was processed in July 1963 and shows a baby sitting in a high chair playing with...a chunk of metal pipe? Ok, that's probably not really what it is... The third photo was processed in August 1965 and shows some people exploring a rock formation somewhere. The last photo was processed in June 1964 and shows an older lady posing for the shot.
