These vintage photographs are "found" images, lost or discarded by unknown amateur photographers.
They could have disappeared forever, or stayed hidden in dusty drawers.
Cat Island brings you these wonderful images as home-published blank cards.

"Photographs are, of course, artifacts. But their appeal is that they also seem,
in a world littered with photographic relics, to have the status of found objects--
unpremediated slices of the world. Thus, they trade simultaneously on the prestige of art
and the magic of the real. They are clouds of fantasy and pellets of information."
-- Susan Sontag, "On Photography"
