Description

When Edward and his mistress Tina Modotti left for Mexico in July 1923, Weston’s thirteen-year-old son Edward Chandler Weston (1910–1995) accompanied them. Weston sent this print of his eldest son in typical Mexican clothing to his beloved sister, Mary Weston Seaman, in Los Angeles, who put it into in a family album.
