Arturo Pedregón and Benita Duarte Pedregón

The photograph was taken in 1951 by the Casasola Photograph Studio. It was a popular Studio in El Paso, where many people took their pictures, for example for special occasions. 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.
