Scenes from Europe and the United Kingdom
The KernGallery presents a selection of vintage vernacular photography depicting scenes in Europe and the United Kingdom from the 1950's and 1960's. All photographs are well seen and are jewels of the vernacular genre. The photographer is unknown.
Three Babes
Since the inception of photography, photographs have been made, used, collected, and discarded in greatly increasing numbers. Despite the photograph's persistent presence in daily life, until recently most types of everydayphotography have remained unexamined by historians and have been absent from the walls of art museums. In response to this omission, some scholars have begun to consider photography as a "vernacular" practice.
Vernacular photography refers to the creation of photographs by amateur or unknown photographers who take everyday life and common things as subjects. Also, the use of vernacular photography in the arts is almost as old as photography itself. Vernacular photography has become far more commonplace in recent years as an art technique and is now a widely accepted genre of art photography.

These photos capture a point in European history so well. You can feel the fog, the sounds of the street and the rush of the traffic. Thanks for sharing.
Curious, what is the price range and image size of a typical photo in the exhibit?
