Anselmo Coyné y Valentín Marín, pioneros de la fotografía en Pamplona (1866-1881) [Anselmo Coyné and Valentín Marín, pioneers of photography in Pamplona (1866-1881)]

Abstract

Permanent photographers arrive in Pamplona in the 1860s. One of the first studios to be established, the first in the Plaza de la Constitución, or del Castillo, was «Pamplonesa Photography. Coyné y Cía». This studio, which will go through several stages and names, was founded by Anselmo María Coyné and Valentín Marín, both photographers from Pamplona. From 1866 to 1881, together with the studio of Leandro and Dublán, they will reflect the image of the society of Pamplona through their albumin portraits in carte de visite or carte cabinet format, until the appearance of the dry plate gelatin-bromide and the increase in the number of studios at the end of the 19th century.
