Ramon Alfonso Martinez 1935

This little boy's name is Ramon Alfonso Martinez. He wears a sailor suit. Apart from the name, the identity of the boy is unknown. The picture was taken by the Casasola Photograph Studio in 1935. Alfonso Casasola, a member of a famous family of Mexican photographers, came to El Paso in the 1920s after several years in the Mexican consular service. He established the Casasola Studio (also known by its Spanish name, Estudio Casasola) at 511 S. El Paso Street and was active in many civic organizations. He died on February 17, 1948 at the age of 59, but his wife, Emma Flores Casasola, continued the studio for many years. Many El Pasoans went to the Studio to take their picture.
