I found these in the same shops as the black and white portraits. I think she may have been a famous actress in the 60s . . . maybe chinese?

I had a accumulated quite a few of these portraits while in Saigon. I am going to try and post at least two or three on a regular basis so I can finally scan and archive the entire collection.

I made a deliberate trip to the the used book section of chatuchak market, Bangkok this past February. I skipped over the sweaty pets, vintage clothing and scorching curries so I could  snatch up as many books as i could carry to the metro. Here is an account of the loot,  separated into 4+ parts.

Matthew Monteith

Images from photographer Matthew Monteith‘s Monograph Czech Eden. I bought the book about a month ago and return to flip through it again and again. A new favorite.

Poodles

Found on the street walking by Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Apparently a good clipping turns your dog into a person. With boyfriends and “after bath” wear. A designer leopard print coat gets your poodle into restaurants. Copyright 1962. Amazing.
