Dear all,
I did enjoy the album, most of the photos were unfamiliar, only I few I
remembered from other books. However, I'd like to say that, although I am
not 100% sure, it appears to me that the author of the narrative is Radu
Anton Roman, the style of the language indicates a well-read writer,
familiar with fabrics/food/merchandise from the late 19th to the early 20th
century. Some of the words are however rather inappropriate for a
documented representation of Bucharest [the author attempts to fabricate
rather than render an authentic image, certain wording dismissive if not
vulgar, but that may be a mere question of taste; most do seem correctly
used, though I came across words I need to look up in some specialised
dictionary]...
In terms of the origin of most of these pictures, there's a link which
reveals the photographer: Nicolae Ionescu

The article presents images captured in the volume Nicolae IONESCU
Bucurestiul de altadata [Bucharest once upon a time], Introduction /
Prefata by Emanuel B=C4=83descu =C8=99i Iulian Voicu, Editura Alcor Edimpex=
SRL,
Bucuresti, 2002, 96 p, which looks like being the main inspiration source
of the nicely done album we have all looked at.
