What an incredible find. I am amazed the pictures could be developed after all that time. Very evocative.

Unfortunately it looks like it was a hoax:

To be fair, I think they are contemporary, just not developed from a 70-year old film.

Don't care. Hoax or not, they still look pretty good to me.

contemporary is cool, developed from a 70 year old film would be cooler
