Amsterdam Tijdens de Hongerwinter
/Amsterdam's Hunger Winter
by : The Underground Camera Group
De Ondergedoken camera Group ( the Underground Camera Group) made these images at risk during the winter of 1944-45 , each understanding that Amsterdam's "first task was to bear witness"
Published in 1947,this is a first edition, 128 pp, 140 gravure reproductions.
Much of the book is shot in a style -not exactly formalist, but in a mode where the important factor was to get a picture in any way!
This collection of photos shows "man's inhumanity to man"
This book , a fine copy, has been in my collection for years.
18K starved to death that winter !
What a great book. I have some antique books in my collection, but mainly relate to antique furniture.
