Old photograph of Carlo & Victor Perantoni, Leopolis 1937
DEER HUNTING in FORMER EASTERN POLAND
Photographed by Victor Perantoni using
Zeiss Iconta auto-shutter on tripod

 Game from hunting fields of SUCKOWOLA, 1937

Photo-snapshot measuring approx. 16.7 X 11.2 cm.

Original photo enlargement from family album of Victor Perantoni.  Old photograph kept in reasonably good condition after evacuating Poland to avoid the Third Reich's savage fury, only to be stored 18 months under Allied aerial attacks in Mussolini's wartime kettle in northern Italy, and surviving the total destruction of our native town.  Then it traveled to Australia and back to Europe and then to U.S.A.  It's an old photograph kept in reasonably good condition.

THE 3 COLLECTORS OF ALL OUR SALES

(See attached photo) - FROM LEFT, Carlo Perantoni and his two sons, Luigi and Victor, standing in front of the ‘Winiarnia Italia’ showing their new display of Italian wines just delivered by rail.  Victor took the photo with his ‘Zeiss-Iconta auto shutter on tripod soon after unloading the delivery and dressing the front window, still in their work clothes.  The photo was made into a postcard and sent to family relatives in their native alpine town in North Italy, Volargne di Dolcè.

HUNTING TOURS IN FORMER EAST POLAND

All the photographs are originals, developed, enlarged, and some made into copies at photography ateliers in the city of Lwow during the 1930s, prior to WWII.

DATES AND LOCATIONS are from captions handwritten on backsides of photos found in albums of Carlo, and of Luigi and Victor. Among the copies are conflicting dates and locations, explained by Victor as resulting from the photos brought to Italy after evacuating Poland in 1939, and afterwards put in each one’s album during 1940s. So, some memories might’ve been confused, explained Victor, pointing at the 3 albums manufactured in Italy. Our sales of each photo list the handwritten captions of dates and locations even if some copies are conflicting.

SIGNATURES OF CARLO & VICTOR  found on backsides of some photographs were not intended to be ‘official autographs.'

ROMAN NUMERAL DATES had been an Italian tradition during the thriving 20 years of Mussolini’s fascism prior to his alliance with the Third Reich. The numerals count the years since Mussolini became Italy’s ‘Duce’ leader in 1922.

OUR FILM PROJECT

Several accounts about the lives and experiences of Carlo, Luigi, and Victor Perantoni in pre-war Poland have been published in film scripts and books since his death in 2002.
