Bartolomé Ros lived in Ceuta from 1918 until the mid 1950's. It was there that he learned photography and began to work aged 14 as a documentalist of civil and military society, an activity which extended to the sale of albums and postcards depicting the customs of Morocco and collaboration with local and national press (ABC, Mundo Grafico and Blanco y Negro), also publishing a famous report on Spain in the North American magazine National Geographic.

The photography legacy of Bartolomé Ros (Murcia 1906)covers a historic period which started out in the aftermath of the war with Morocco and the start of the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, which brought the conflict to a close. Ros was a privileged witness to the moments prior to the uprising of the Spanish Army in Morocco against the Second Republic. His chronicles of that time has left us with exceptional moments taken from History and daily life on the African border.
