The black-and-white photo from 1962 shows a desert scene in Saguaro National Park, dominated by towering saguaro cacti. In the foreground, a person is standing beside a large saguaro cactus, reaching up to touch it, highlighting the plant's impressive height compared to the individual. The landscape is arid, with a few sparse bushes, and the background features rugged mountains under a partly cloudy sky. The unique ribbed structure and multiple arms of the cacti are prominent, capturing the iconic look of these desert giants. Erich Andres was born in Germany in 1905 and passed away in 1992. He began his career as a photographer in 1920 and was one of the first to use a Leica camera. Today, his work is exhibited in several museums, including the Civil War Museum in Salamanca, Spain, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Industrial Museum in Oberhausen, Germany. In 1951, Andres contributed to Edward Steichen's iconic exhibition "The Family of Man" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
