VERY RARE! MARTHA PEARSON CASANAVE VINTAGE 1972 SELF PORTRAIT 6\"X8\" PHOTOGRAPH

Martha was only 26 years old when she made this photograph....can you imagine what a Weston, Bernhard, or Adams that they made when they were only 26 would be worth today? Good luck finding a pre 1975 vintage Martha Casanave photograph in a gallery today for under $1,000.00...forthatmatter just try to find one at any price! What might look like a pricy photo today should be well worth the price down the road.
