Lucky find

A friend of mine was clearing out his garage and put his hand into the eaves. He found a Kodak 6x4 yellow box that contained a collection of glamour shots. Sadly some of these had got some water damage, but we rescued most of them. They seem to date from the 40's and 50's - I recognise the style of decor and furniture from my childhood.

I have just put one up (hopfully to see if I can actually get it right! If this works I will try to get the rest up (there are over 70 of them) as soon as possible. They need re-touching to get rid of the damage - feel free to have a go.

Enjoy this young lady - she is my favourite. I often wonder who she is and if she is still alive.

OK - that seemed to work. The next question is - do I put them up one at a time, or zip them all up, or do both?

would be very nice if you put it in a zip file

I will - it's just a case of doing it! I shall continue to post the pictures so that others have something to look at.
The picures are scans at a reasonable resolution. I have both JPG (which are posted here) and BMP which obviously have no compression applied - which format would members prefer?
