A bit of info about this photographer:
Anton Bruehl was a leading photographer in the 1920's and 30's and one of the first to work in color. He was born in Australia, came to the United States as a youth, and studied at the Clarence White School of Photography in New York. Later, he helped Mr. White run the school. In 1925, Mr. Bruehl opened his own studio in New York, specializing in fashion and advertising photography.
He quickly became one of the best known and busiest photographers in the country. He did portraits for Vanity Fair, covers and illustrations for Vogue and other magazines, and advertisements for a variety of clients, including a famous series for Four Roses whisky. Bruehl is noted for the color photography he produced in the 1930s for Condé Nast, which at that time had a virtual monopoly on the color printing process. Fernand Bourges, a color technician at Condé Nast Engravers, developed a four-color separation transparency process in 1932 that allowed the company to print color images in its publications on a regular basis. This collaboration--Bruehl's color photographs, Bourges's color transparencies, Condé Nast's printing--accounted for the majority of color images that appeared in print in the mid-1930s. Besides his innovative color photography, Bruehl was recognized for his stylish advertising still lifes, and for the celebrity portraiture and fashion photography he did for Vogue during the 1930s.
Anton Bruehl died at the age of 82 on Aug. 10, 1982, in San Francisco.
