A Kodachrome slide collection was found by
Kevin Danks that shows beautiful life of Switzerland in May 1963.
“These Kodachrome slides came from eBay, the first large collection I bought. A group of British holidaymakers on a coach trip to Switzerland. From the index card I got with these slides, I am certain the photographer and his wife are now dead (by the way, his wife was called Vi (Violet?) and he is anonymous).
It is sad that no one in the family wanted these, or that maybe they didn't know about them. Perhaps there wasn't anyone to inherit them. Whatever the reason, they are now safe with me and that has to be better than being in landfill somewhere.”
