Vintage Port identification gallery + request for images
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 9:05 am
I have created a new feature on my personal website which may be of interest, and I hope could grow to be a useful resource; It is a gallery of vintage port bottles, labels, capsules and bottle details.
VP Identification Gallery
Initially the web page allows some simple filtering (by house, year range) and will display all images for the specified filters, e.g. all images for bottles from 1970-1977 inclusive or all capsule images from that same date range. I hope that this can grow significantly in size as I photograph further bottles, and with any images received from others, which leads me to...
Request for Images
I would like to put out a general request for any images of VP bottles, labels and capsules from people which they would be willing to share with me for use within the database. I am particularly interested in images from older bottles, and am quite happy to sort through image sets and crop bottles/labels, and would be happy to hear from any individuals, retailers, shippers, auction houses, and any others willing to contribute images; the only restriction is that the images must be your own to share. I am quite happy to take images containing multiple bottles, or where the bottle is only part of the photo and will crop accordingly.
Please PM me if you have images which you would be happy to share for inclusion and we can select a transfer method (FTP, Dropbox, file-share, other) and credentials as needed. All contributions are most welcome.
