I block all empty, stupid and/or stagnant blogs! You should be making a contribution to the community here, NOT just harvesting pictures!
I collect and scan the bridal gown ads from vintage bridal magazines. My collection spans the 70's to the late 90's. I scan at high resolution on professional equipment. The versions posted here are much smaller to fit within Tumblr's posting guidelines. I'm looking for a way (easy and cheap) to share the high resolution scans. If anyone has any ideas, please message me.
Communities are live on Tumblr!
A community for lovers of bridal wear from all eras of history.
Tumblr (stupidly) changes the original file name, so I've added the magazine name and date in the upper left corner of each image. you'll have to view the image at 100% to read it. That same info is also in the images Meta data (IPTC information).
I enjoy chatting with other fans of vintage bridals.
Just for laughs, my entire collection (as of March 2024) is 457 GB's and contains 54,909 files. That's a LOT of scanning. This includes some scans from a couple of other fans who also collect and scan older magazines (yes, I'm talking about you David).
By the way, does anyone remember 'Sylvia's Bridal Image Parlour' on Geocities? And speaking of Geocities, here's my original 'Bridelover' link site on Geocities 25 years ago…
So ya….I've been at this a long time. (updated 21 Oct, 2024)
