In July of 1947, British photographer Hans Wild (1912-1969) visited Andorra (Pyrenees) and during his visit made hundreds of photos, which depicted the residents of the Principality, their holidays and mundane life, landscapes and architecture. His photos remained unpublished for a long time. Nowadays Google virtual museum of culture allows to find these pictures easily (there are about 432 photos). Unfortunately, the photos do not contain detailed descriptions, but only marked with the date and author. However, among them there are portraits of famous personalities, such as – Bishop of La Se D’Urgell (Spain, Catalonia) and Co-Prince of Andorra Ramon Iglesias i Navarri.
