Notes

Two plates in the MoMA Master Checklist: photo-0002 (#2, Prologue, USA, 50x63 cm) and photo-0005 (#6, Prologue, USA, 140x177 cm); count verified by grep 2026-05-19. Nationality ‘American’ per checklist. Birth April 18, 1902 Chicago / death November 16, 1975 Monterey per Wikipedia (fetched 2026-05-19) and Britannica (fetched 2026-05-19) — two-source corroboration. The plates are widely identified in secondary sources as ‘Let There Be Light’ and ‘Child in Forest’; MoMA Master Checklist records no titles. Title-year discrepancy: Wikipedia gives 1951 for Child in Forest; Britannica gives 1954 — not resolved. Research file: research/photographers/wynn-bullock.md
