I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.
I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.
All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970 which places them in Italy based on previous sets.
The first looks like a photo of some ongoing construction. There is a house being built in the foreground, what are probably nearly or recently finished apartments, and some more under construction in the distance.
Google Images came to the rescue with the second photo. This appears to be a shot of a sketch by Bernardino Poccetti from 1587. Currently this resides in the Museum of the Works of the Duomo in Florence, Italy. See https://bobandnellasworld.com/Italy%202009/Florence/DuomoMuseum/DuomoMuseum.html
The third photo also looks like it was taken inside a museum but I haven't been able to identify it beyond that.
Other than also likely being taken in Florence, I'm not really sure what the last photo is showing. Looks like an archway leading from somewhere out into the city.
