Vintage Curacao Photo serie - Black White – Curaçao (1960s–1970s)
Vintage Black-and-White Personal Photo Series – Curaçao (1960s–1970s)
This unique collection (multiple sets) of original black-and-white photographs offers a rare glimpse of Curaçao in the 1960s and 1970s. The complete set is thoughtfully divided into smaller collections, each grouped by subject or theme, such as bustling city streets, iconic Dutch colonial architecture, scenic landscapes, maritime life, and cultural events.
Highlights include the famous J.L. Penha & Sons building in Willemstad, vibrant shopping streets with period signage, the island’s characteristic divi-divi trees, serene beaches, fishing harbors, and panoramic views of the historic waterfront. Each image captures the island’s distinctive blend of Caribbean atmosphere and European architectural heritage.
These are unicas – original, one-of-a-kind prints – produced in the era, not modern reproductions. They were carefully preserved in a private photo album for decades, keeping them in excellent condition and offering a genuine time-capsule view of mid-20th-century Curaçao.
