Lot 130 I was fascinated by the stone mosaics of Mitla, for besides a variation on the Greek fret, there was a unique pattern,---oblique lines of dynamic force,---flashes of stone lightning, which remain my strongest memory of Mitla. EDWARD WESTON

Specialist note
Weston visited remote Mitla in Mexico with Tina Modotti and his son, Brett in June, 1926 when he made the negative for this architectural detail. He evidently made this print, mounted and signed it, in the brief period when he lived in Glendale, California between November 1926 and July 1928.
