Mantel, Ricardo

A German-born photographer about whom very little is known. He created photographic images that he sold in postcard format. Mantel operated a business located at 11 Capuchinas Street between 1926 and 1934. It was a place where many enthusiasts developed their plates, received technical advice, and acquired the latest technical innovations of the time. Mantel was the first to bring a Leica camera to Mexico.
