Love old pictures - have loads including negatives - but no glass ones unfortunately, Oldest one I have has been dated by a military museum to around 1860 - fascinating

Your headline is wrong. I didn't 'develop' them. I haven't even seen the originals. My dad did all the work. It is all in the tweets so shouldn't be too hard to get right :-)

This is making me wonder if I could do something myself with my old negatives

What a true Treasure Box.

Weyhey -I have just installed a free version of a programme very similar to photoshop and figured out how to do it

That person could contact the resort or whoever it is that currently owns it. Perhaps then, that person can still find records. The records might mention the number of people staying in the resort, then by counting the people in the pictures, that person will know whose pictures are they, especially when comparing the names in the list with the names in the resort’s records. (The person who took the pictures could be an employee who works at the resort, not a family member.) The process with which the negatives turned into positive was really cool to know.

Super!

lovely

Fascineted

Interesting. I would live to know more about it.

It’s cool that these pictures (techincally negatives) were found, i hope you make the right choice in what to do with them.

These pictures makes me think of the fantastic books Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. I love the background and idea behind the books from the author. He used old photos like these throughout the series and built a story around the amazing pics.

He should contact a history and archeology museums and galleries or an history professor in France

iphone + photoshop? Kids these days.. There is such a thing as "Film scanner" which, you know... scans old photos.

Isn't that Dexter's Blood slide box?

WTF is a boot sale and why is it called that (I'm assuming they're not selling boots). Also, children were pretty ugly back then.
