Hamburg: Historische Photographien Von 1842-1910 - Hardcover

As portrayed in this volume, the city of Hamburg no longer exists. The viewer of these pictures is invited to come along on a quest for a lost time, to ponder the photographic details, or to stroll along imaginary streets. All this is accomplished by the naturalistic view of the earlier photographs which authentically evoke the urban life, the atmosphere of the big city and the social milieu of a now extinct world. The selection of the photographs was made by the photographer Hans Meyer-Veden and are accompanied by an essay written by Hermann Hipp. Many of the photographs are published for the first time and include the work of Carl Ferdinand Stelzner, Charles Fuchs, Koppmann & Co., as well as Johann and Heinrich Hamann and others. They present a documentary of a previous era that is now passed.
