I love these photos. I have written to some extent about mid-century Polish Gypsies, and one of my favorite parts about the research is combing through old photos. I especially love the photo here of the little girl.

The photo is taken in a cave, in the mountain named "Sacromonte" -in english "Sacred Mountain"-?
But I dont know if the photo is taken from a old movie or from reality... The dancer above is from a movie?
