The photos span a full century, from a risque and intimate smooch in a Victorian parlor to a 1990s Polaroid of a New York couple at a dance . . .
\nThe core of the collection are snapshots from the 1930s through the 1960s, widely considered the Golden Age of the American snapshot.
\nThe photographs in 76 KISSES come from Lori Baker and David E. Brown’s collection of more than 200 vintage snapshots of kisses. They have been culled from flea markets, junk shops, photo albums, yard sales, eBay, and chance finds. Baker and Brown estimate that they have looked at approximately 800,000 photographs in search of these pictures.
