Switzerland - (Die Schweiz)
Architecture and Landscape
A very rare book full of beautiful full page photographs (in high quality photo gravure technique)
of the landscape, mountains, villages and people
of Old Switzerland in the 1920's and 1930's.
This precious book was not affordable by too many people at that time.
And there is no other book of that time which comes close to the printing quality of that title.
Photographs titled in English, German, French and Italian.
From the series "Orbis Terrarum", a series of early photobooks portraying the regions of the world.
!! Rare 2nd volume of the Switzerland Series !!
