Lot Essay

Romeo Martinez was the editor of Camera Magazine from 1952 to 1973. Since the magazine had such high print quality standards, those prints published in Camera magazine, that eventually comprised his collection, were the finest prints the photographers could produce. This image was included in the First International Photography Biennale in Venice in 1957.
