Local child sweeping alley to cathedral, Gerona Spain. July/August 1968
(He was actually posing for unsuspecting tourists upon whom grandad, with outstretched palm, would pounce; the guy appears complete in quasi peasant-garb in one of the shots! 50 yrs later I took the same shot; a very different Spain, although here in August 2018 - sauf l'infant - virtually nothing else had changed!)

Rebecca, 1940s day!
Leidolf Lordomat ll (1954/6), Enna-Lordonar 50mm lens, K2, Ilford FP4 Film
I since found on-line the superior and four times the price 50mm 'Lordon' - and say 'ouch!' every time I handle it! Nice if you can find one - they're often sold with a so-so camera to help the sale - of the camera! As these lenses can only be used (without complicated and unavailable converter) on a Leifolf camera, they command a surprisingly high price.
