Which photobooks give a convincing and characteristic view on Germany? This volume shows them all: Books from the last days of the Empire and the Weimar Republic, the period of National Socialism, the Federal Republic, the German Democratic Republic and the reunited Germany. Many important photographers, mostly with uniquely designed publications are all gathered: August Sander, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Abisag Tüllmann, Edith Rimkus, Leonard Freed, George Hashiguchi, Dirk Reinartz, Chargesheimer, Will McBride, Heinrich Riebesehl, Christian Borchert und andere.
This volume combines 273 books, that are fully presented with exemplary pages, a short text and bibliographic data. The volume is thematically divided into landscapes, cities, people, work, architecture, events of the present, borders, "typically german" and more. Every chapter is introduced with an essay.
