Anonymous - A box of 6 x 13 cm glass views of Barcelos

A handwritten note in the box indicates that the views were taken in Barcelos (a small city in the north of Portugal) in 1922. Part of the views are indeed very interesting, because they show a very well known country fair that attracts visitors from many locations. Judging from some of the images, it was no less lively then than it is now.

All the images are in glass, of the type illustrated below:

 
  6 x 13 cm (2.3'' x 5.1'') glass negatives (the positives listed were obtained digitally from the glass plates).
