Das Alte Berlin

Más información sobre el libro

Heinrich Zille (1858-1929) was Berlin's most popular artist, printmaker and photographer--with famed "milieu" studies that reflected the lived reality of the small man on the street, the heroes of everyday life in late 19th and early 20th century Berlin. This book presents photographs taken between 1880 and 1920, classic works in the history of photography and early testimonies of social documentary photography in Germany. Documenting his immediate surroundings--his family, streets and markets, Wilhelmine buildings, backyards, taverns, fairgrounds, wood gatherers, nude studies--Zille is a preeminent chronicler of his world and time.
