Vintage Photos, Antique Images, Postcards & Curious Objects from the Collection of Barbara Levine

This gallery is an ongoing exploration of my personal collections (which influence my art). I am unpacking boxes containing images and objects from decades worth of collecting that have until recently been in storage. As I unpack (and acquire new treasures!) I will add to this gallery. Keep coming back, you never know what you will find!
