Italian term or phrase: foto d'epoca
It is a volume collecting photos taken between the Thirties and the Sixties and portraying an Italian city. I often find the phrase "foto d'epoca". Which is the most appropriate English expression: vintage photo? period photo? old photo? Is there a better expression?

Thanks!
