Description: The exhibition is the result of an ongoing research work on the photography archive of Gaston Bourquin (Villeret 1890 - Buenos Aires 1950) belonging to the Museum of the City. Curated by Luis Priamo and Verónica Tell through an agreement with the National University of San Martín, it consists of a selection of more than 70 photographs that were digitized and copied for the occasion. In addition, postcards and other materials and documentation from private collections, the Museum's heritage and the family archive are incorporated into the exhibition. "Along with Federico Kohlmann, with whom he was a partner for some years in the 1930s, Bourquin was the most important photographer and postcard editor in Argentina in the first half of the 20th century," (HKB Translation) Verso Cover.
