Saw one recently in a vintage store and spent 10 minutes going through it, I remembered every page

Several of these came through a nearby museum a few years ago. They were super cool to see in person.

The negatives were shot on a massive 8×6 sheet, rather than the tiny 1×1 1/4 you used to take them with. That's what captured all the glorious, magical detail!
