Not surprisingly, I've acquired quite a few old photos recently, so I really have no excuse NOT to do #ThrowbackThursday from now on.

Here's my late Dad as a wee baby, back in the summer of 1942.

He was born in North End Avenue in Portsmouth - not St Mary's Hospital like many Portsmouthians were.

Does anyone have any suggestions for sources of photography from Spain in the 1940s and 1950s?

I'm especially interested in images showing signs from those decades and, more specifically, hand-painted signs, so suspect images from bigger cities will be most fruitful.

Thanks in advance for any leads, and please boost to reach others that may be able to help.
