Despite its exotic connotations, india paper refers only to our predilection to peruse dictionaries, india paper being the thin paper common to thick reference works. And how does this relate to old photos? Just as a dictionary is a comprehensive gathering of verbal language, a collection of vintage photographs, deliberately preserved and organized, provides a stunning account of the visual language of everyday life, past and present. In a slightly different way, the same is true of the transient and often incidental paper items that filtered through the hands of people now gone. Old letters, pamphlets, broadsides, menus, identification cards, advertisements, invoices, etc. offer the little details of human routines that often get ignored in broader studies of history.
