Note: The early color carbro (carbon & bromide) process was time consuming and technically demanding. It required three negatives, each made with a different color filter. Employing a special one-shot camera of his own design, Warnecke began producing carbro prints for the Daily News in the 1930s . Over the course of several decades, Warnecke and his team photographed hundreds of people in the news, from popular film stars like Cary Grant to important government officials and statesmen like Mayor Fiorella La Guardia..
