Vintage 1950s Nuevo Laredo Mexico Street Scene Photo Lot B&W Coca Cola Cars
Photos show typical age-related wear with light edge curl and minor surface handling marks but overall clear images and good contrast. Scrapbook pages have tanning, taped or rough outer edges, and some adhesive residue where pages were removed from an album. No major tears or missing pieces noted on the photo images themselves.
Original vintage black and white street photography lot removed from an old scrapbook, showing everyday life and vendors in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico circa 1950s based on the automobiles and clothing styles.
Lot includes multiple candid snapshots mounted to two cream scrapbook pages, featuring town plaza and storefront scenes, classic cars, sidewalk vendors selling baked goods, a Coca-Cola "Tome Coca-Cola Bien Fria" cooler at a food stand, and pedestrians in period dress.
Handwritten captions on the pages identify the location as "Nuevo Laredo - Mexico" and include German notes such as "Strassenscenen man verkauf Backwaren" and "Backwaren," indicating street scenes of baked-goods sellers.
The photographs appear to be original gelatin silver prints from a personal travel scrapbook, not modern reproductions; a separate note reads "From a vintage scrapbook" to document their source.
Scrapbook pages are roughly album-sized (see ruler in photos for general scale) with multiple photos per page; individual photo prints are snapshot size and mounted at the corners or edges.
Great historical reference for mid-century Mexico, automobiles, Coca-Cola advertising, street vendors, and candid documentary photography.
