A glimpse into lost memories, pictures tell stories .........

I got this album when i was a Spitifields market in London a while ago, i love to collect old photos, but albums are much better to collect, this one is my favourite, i often like to think what their life was, this albums shows them well travelled,  going to parties and are very much in love!  There are photos from venice, rome, cologne, milan

The fron cover has a painting on and reads 'Gruss vom Drachenfels' which is german for Cheers the Drachenfels.  The Drachenfels means 'dragons rock' and is a mountain in Germany, and there is a ruined castle at the top, which is what the painting is of.

Here is an image of the castle, the painting on the cover of the album looks just like it! According to german legens Siegfired- the hero if the Nibelungenlied killed a dragon living in a cave in the mountain, then bathed in its blood to become invulnerable.

This shows the couplle, that are featured through out the album, it must be around 1946. Her dress is typcally 40s 

New Years party, cologne, 1947-8
