Funny statement, btw, none of the 3 greats mentioned above print themselves!
Just a curiosity.

Hello André,
Perhaps they all realized that someone else could do a better job printing their negatives than they could accomplish. On the opposite end of that, I know a couple master printers that I could honestly state do more so-so images than great ones, though their prints are all quite fantastique (technically). It does not seem that capturing the images, and expressing the images as prints are equal skills. Wasn't one or more of the Westons having someone else in the family make prints?
Ciao!
