Various photographers and artists.
Primarily photographic prints, postcards, and photographs of drawings or paintings. Photographs of buildings, town, cities, landscapes, and historic sites predominate, but a significant number of images are copy photographs of illustrations, drawings, or other pictures on historic topics. Images of mid-20th century architecture, town, and cities are more likely to be original photographs by Mujica, or collected by him. Includes a few original drawings by Francisco Mujica.
Compiled by Francisco Mujica Diez de Bonilla.
