About the author: [ Erna Lendvai-Dircksen was born in 1883. She first studied painting, and in 1910 took up photography.
In 1911 she began her magnum opus, a photographic study of the peasants of all the German regions,
which she continued until the Second World War.
In 1933 she receives acclaim as the photographer of "the True Face of Germany",
as opposed to the work of August Sander. In 1943 her archives are destroyed in an air raid.
This volume is part of her extended document of the German peoples.]
