Amateur photographer Charles W. Cushman travelled extensively from 1938 through to the late 60s, taking snapshots wherever he went. His entire collection of photographs has been scanned and put online. There are some real gems in there, especially the pictures taken in London, Paris, Munich, Dublin, Istanbul, New York and Edinburgh.
