There are more than 150 images, all with analogue technique, which Estelle af Malmborg describes as “the father of Swedish photography today” Spain, in one way or another, was present in his life from early on. In 1937 she visited Paris for the first time for the World's Fair, where she saw Picasso's Guernica.
