ANONYMOUS . colombia

These two works are believed to be of Colombian origin; this is the only information known about them. One is composed of advertising cards—most often depicting women—while the other also features female portraits accompanied by a flag, printed by a cigarillo brand for promotional purposes. The style of the photographs, linked together using a crochet technique, does not allow for a reliable dating. Given the precision and delicacy of the work, as well as the time likely required to produce them, one may wonder what motivated their creator, especially since the fragility of the paper prevents any practical domestic use (such as a doily).
