The Old Tourism


February 15, 2009
by Olen Steinhauer





Over at Flickr, someone named “dov” posted some wonderful French Ministry of Tourism PR shots.

From 1934 towards the end of the sixties, the French Ministry for Tourism employed full-time PR photographers to snap “celebrities” traveling by Air France. I’ve found a pack of these press photos at the flea market of Clignancourt, and bought them for 1 euro each.
