A U S T R I A
The Landscape and Architecture

A very beautiful photographic record of full page photographs (in high quality photogravure technique)
 featuring topography, remarkable sites, and stunning architecture of fascinating Austria.


The photographer Kurt Hielscher travelled through the country in the 1920s and made 4600 photos
w/ premier photo equipment; his Zeiss Ikon/Ica camera and Zeiss objectives on Agfa Chromo Isorapid and
Chromo Isolar plates and Isopan films
His book represents the best 304 photos out of 4600 from Old Austria.
