[Cz-L] Czernowitz photos by street photographers

Marianne Hirsch and I are in the process of writing a paper for a
conference at the University of California-Davis on "Visual Culture and
Jewish Self-Understanding." We would like to focus our paper on
photographs taken by street photographers in Czernowitz/Cernauti in the
1920s, 1930's and early 1940's of persons walking down the main
pedestrian shopping and coffee-house streets: the Herrengasse,
Enzenberghaupstrasse, and the Ringplatz. We have a number of such
photos in our own family album and, of course, we have seen the many
photos posted on the Czernowitz-L web by David Glynn, Lillian Madfes,
Mimi Taylor, and Lucca Ginsburg.
In order for us to proceed with our analysis of these photographs
within a larger cultural historical context, we would very much
appreciate it if List members would e-mail us any scanned jpg versions
of such photos they might have. We will certainly acknowledge all such
photos in our paper. Currently, the photos posted by Mr. Glynn and by
Ms. Madfes and Taylor cannot be used by us in a PowerPoint presentation
illustrating our paper because the thumbnail copies of their photos can
only be viewed on the web. We would need to have the actual jpg
versions of these photos -- along with permission for us to use them
for this academic conference.

Many, many thanks for any help any of you can provide us with our
project!!
