Larger Chromes, 1950-1959

Group of 14 color full color photographic images published in the 1950s, 10 of which are attributed to Márquez.  

The covers of MEXICAN FOLKLORE reflect that Márquez was using color film in 1954, the same year that Hugo Brehme died. All of the photographs within the Márquez book, however, were shot in black and white film. Both of the cover images shown below were made into "Mexichrome" postcards that are larger than the standard 3-1/2" by 5-1/2" size. Márquez, therefore, led the way into 4" by 6" modern chromes long before they became the size commonly sold today.
