I found a blog of service garage and gas stations about 90 years ago in France, and calendar girls (remember wayyy back when service bays had Snap On or Playboy calendars?)



A long time ago, gas was delivered in tin cans, and it looks like the delivery boy lost his cart load just as the camera clicked, judging by the guys running towards it



very unusual to see the photos of the inside of service stations


same place above and below... the old man in the center doesn't move

  1. My photograpy knowledge is a little rusty, but I doubt that "accident" photo of the gas cans falling was caught as it happened. Exposure times were long in those days (many seconds) so rapid action would be blurred. Most likely staged in order to document something that actually did happen.

    1. I concur sir. Most likely staged for dramatization of an incident. Check out the guy still hanging on to the cart handles suspended in the air.

  2. Like the last picture of the guy gassing the car with a lit cigarette in his mouth. Not worried a bit now is he?
