Out-of-print 'The Peace Weary' by Diana SCHERER and Menno Wigman was created after 'A Murder in Rotterdam' with police photographs from 1905 to 1967. Independently of each other, both were inspired by the photographs and developed this joint book project.

Out-of-print book 'Mann für Mann' by Roswitha HECKE contains over 40 images from all over the world. Around half of the b/w images were taken in New York City, the rest in Barcelona, Naples, Cairo, London a.o. They all show men, individually or in groups.
