A platinum print from 1925 titled "Mexican Boy" is a portrait by Allie F. Bramberg Bode, who was affiliated with the Clarence H. White School of Photography in New York. The picture was exhibited at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences in 1929 and in the Pictorial Photographers of America travel salon of 1930 to 1931, and it was reproduced in a 1996 study of the White School. Platinum paper, prized for its soft, matte tones, was a favorite medium of the pictorialists who gathered around White's teaching in the early twentieth century.
