We have previously shared with you a few occurrences where an amateur photographer, or just someone deep cleaning their house, found a treasure trove of vintage photographs taken by their grandparents or another relative. While this story is quite similar, there is one mysterious twist.
Irish camera photographer William Fagan came across a lost film cassette a few years ago when he purchased a vintage Leica camera, but did not develop them until this summer. What he found was incredible photographs depicting a road trip through Switzerland and northern Italy 70 years ago. The travelers are a young woman and an older man, but nothing else is known about their identities. “Given the couple's ages at the time there is a very strong possibility that they are no longer with us. I thought long and hard about showing these photos, even after the long passage of time since they were taken, but there seems to be no other option if I am to find out who they are,” explained Fagan.
