From Torch article: "When Raymond Schwartz came to the Freer Gallery 33 years ago as a guard, he performed a variety of duties-from showing the public through the art storage rooms and selling postcards to assisting the chief photographer. It was this last assignment that opened into a lifetime career and earned Schwartz an international reputation as a photographer of Oriental art."
