Vintage Photos Return!
I am a big fan of both your blogs. I am Alexandra, french but living in Germany, Berlin since 2000.
It was quite difficult to make a decision on which photo I should send you because I have several which could be perfect for the contest.
The one enclosed is from my grand-parents. "Biarritz_1936" They lived normally in Reims, north-east from France.
This photo was taken just before the war in 1936 in Biarritz. They are on their honeymoon. I like this photo a lot because they just feel happy and they look incredibly elegant and stylish even if they are at the sea... it would never happen nowdays ! My grand-father was half english and until his death very elegant, a real gentlman. I also like the contrast of the perfect hair for my grand-father and the wind blowing through the hair of my grand-mother.
Until their death, they had 6 children and about 35 grandchildren... they were very important to me and my family, and were very implicated in helping others who needed it.
I could not resist sending you a photo of them both in Bandol on the same vacation because I find them so beautiful even though they are just wearing the minimum: a swinsuit. The photo reminds me a little bit of Man Ray photo.
Best,
Alexandra H.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember those great vintage photo posts we were doing back in the spring?
Let's start that up again!
Below are the details.
- The subject line of the email should read "Vintage Photo Contest"
- The photos will only be posted here on the blog, so the file size can be very small (no bigger than 700kb). I DO NOT need hi-res images, they take too long to download.
- Writing a little something about the image you send will make your entry much more interesting for all of us.
- Email your photos to: sartorialistvintagephotos@gmail.com

Hello Mr. Schuman,
I love the idea of a vintage photography contest. I hope we get to see lots of submissions. What fun! Thank you for blogging fashion with such taste and class. The Sartorialist is the first thing I look at every day. :)

thank you so much for starting this up again; finding family photos in vintage and antique shops is always such a treasure.
You read my mind! I was just looking through some old family photos this weekend and thinking about your previous posts with vintage photos. Can't wait to show you what I found!
Love this picture.
Thanks for sharing!
nice idea, I´m curious about more of them :)
http://www.fashion-and-chocolate.blogspot.com
YES! I loved and missed the vintage photos. :) Good days to come.
Love this. Would be really helpful if you created a label/category for all of the vintage photos so there was a way to look through them all here!
Yay for the return of vintage photos here on this blog! :)
romantic monday!
This is such a great idea! I'll have to search around for something to send in :)
I'm having a $100 dollar Shopbop giftcard GIVEAWAY on my blog! Come check it out :) It's open to international bloggers as well.

Great idea! I've just send you some of my favourite vintage pics, it's so much fun looking at them, let's see more!
LOVE VINTAGE PHOTOS, THEY TELL SO MUCH MORE OF A STORY THAN THE DIGITAL ONES YOU DELETE AND RETOUCH UNTIL YOU'RE HAPPY!!
can we submit photos of kids?
Such a cool idea! I will definitely be asking to look through my grandparents' old photos this weekend.

Thank you! I'm thrilled to see the vintage photos back! Maybe this time I'll send one in...
lovely photo...but they look so thin!
YAY! You're doing it again! That is my absolute favorite vintage photo that has been featured on your blog. I wish I had her look. I wish that kind of look was always at the beach!
The photo is so beautiful. She's right, you cannot capture that nowadays. I love the story behind this photo. I cannot wait to see more vintage images here.

So glad to know these posts are back!
This picture is so beautiful and elegant, and also so stunningly shot. I guess it was by a professional photographer - the tones and detail are fantastic. It's made me want to be more sophisticated by the beach this year!
Wow this photo is absolutely beautiful, so refreshing and lovely. And I love the story.

lovely photo!!! and grt story of the couple!!!
Beautiful picture. I love it:
Lovely family story, beautiful photo. Her halter top is so elegant and tasteful -- both of them just impeccable. Thanks for sending it in!
love this, every aspect of it combined has produced the most beautiful picture.. I wish life was still like this. <3
The image is naive but very good (thus very good?) I am thinking of Van Gloeden, for some reason.

I love vintage photographs and the stories behind them. I'm so excited to see what some of the entries are.

What a dorgoues photo. I love her shorts - very stylish and something you'd see on the high street today
He makes me think of Fred Astaire. But my first thought was how much thinner the average person was back then--not anymore.
Gorgeous retro photography! Makes me think of pictures of my grandparents at the lake.
how weird...i was going to write last week and beg you to do this again...! vintage photos are such a guilty pleasure
That is so crazy! I was JUST thinking about how I missed this blog's reaching outside the lines and this contest (as well as my favorite conversation about the importance of manners) is a perfect example of that. Hooray! And what an amazing example to get things rolling with, my goodness.
She is so elegant. She looks like she should have been a model with those long legs!

Is there a limit on how many photos we can send?
Such a beautiful vintage photo. An interesting shot too!

i loved this idea and especially that people shared such personal stuff. that said, it really made me sad that some of the comments were so barbed and mean spirited.
like most people who have pics of old relatives, to share them is to share a very tender part of me and a part that i think is fantastic.
i'd love to send in snaps but would be very angry/disappointed/put off by rude feedback.

Wow, I wish my grandparents had such great photos to show to me! I should search through their photos soon.
Quelle splendide vue de la limite entre le muscle vaste latéral de la cuisse et le biceps fémoral!
I wonder if people nowadays could not effect such natural elegance, as Alexandra says, because today we all pose too knowingly for the camera. We angle our jaws to one side, stick out a shoulder or chest, and open our eyes wide & smile. We are all too forced and aware today, hoping our photos will appear online or be admired on our Facebook.
I loved the vintage photo contest! Nice to start that up again!
I adore the elegance of those days.
What a great idea this is. I need to look through my photos and see what I can find.
Early last year I sent you a picture, head shot only, of my 108 years old father when he was 23, unfortunately he died last August. When he was young he had an Asian look, like the guy in the movie The Lover, very exotic. He used to play the violin at the theatres when they were showing silent movies. He was national boxing champion, feather weight, in his native El Salvador. He was a musician, boxer, and pharmacist. He was truly a renaissance man.
This picture is so cool! I'm following your blog, please follow mine as well: peechy-keene.blogspot.com

***THRILLED*** to see the return of this wonderful feature!!
Great pic. I would like to see more of that.
What's more elegant - the lovely couple themselves, or their lanky, languorous limbs?? Such grace.
Yay! Bring on the return of the vintage photos!
i really do love this picture.
Oh my god Scott!! :D
This photo and letter was amazing!
What gorgeous people. What limbs!
i have a lot of vintage photos to share too!
hope i'd have more time though :)
so glad you're doing this again!
i've sent you a submission, but am mortified to think you may receive it 3 times because it never showed up in my 'sent' mail.
please grant me forgiveness, if this is the case!
and enjoy...
This contest is so exciting !!!!
We gonna search among our vintage pics !!!
:)

gorgeous! love it...

one thing i think that makes them so elegant even in simple swimsuits is that their bodies are very sleek - not bulky from excess muscle or fat, just sleek. I think even a few decades ago more people were that way.
Just sent you some awesome photos, hope you like them!
Hugs & kisses from Rio!
