Out-of-print monograph on William Eugene SMITH shows images from six series: 'Country Doctor', 'Spanish Village', 'Nurse Midwife', 'A Man of Mercy', 'Minamata', as well as 'Pittsburgh'. It contains texts by himself about his working methods and principles

This monograph on Magnum agency co-founder Henri CARTIER-BRESSON is about the decisive moment, humility and humanity in his work. The images reproduced in black and white range from the earliest works to landscape photographs from the 1970s.

The out-of-print photo book 'Mein Paris' with photographs by Robert DOISNEAU is a book about Paris. 600 images are arranged like walks through the city and time: along the Seine, around the Eiffel Tower, through the gardens and parks, and into the suburbs

Out-of-print 'Moments in History' focuses on those works Margaret BOURKE-WHITE made in the 1930s and 40s in Czechia, Germany, Italy, the Soviet Union as well as in the UK. It shows photographs and excerpts from letters as well as publications in magazines

This so far only monograph on Sid GROSSMAN, a comprehensive survey of his life and work, includes early social documentary work (1930s), more personal and dynamic street photography (1940s), and late experiments with abstraction in b/w and in color.

This out-of-print photographic volume 'London 1949' by René GROEBLI is the result of a two-week-staying in the bombed-out capital with his rolleiflex camera. The 2nd part of the book contains a series of images shot at London's Crystal Palace Park in 1951

Out-of-print 'A World in Ruins. Vienna 1945-1948' by Ernst HAAS tells history as a psychic collage. The images of the deep depression in the rubble of bombed-out history contrast with the optimistic awakening. A little-documented part of Austria's history

German-Dutch photographer Germaine KRULL is one of the discoverers of modernity. For a long time, her works were hardly accessible because they were scattered in individual archives. The out-of-print catalog with over 150 vintage prints closes this gap.

'Der Blick auf zwei Welten' by Robert HAAS contains touching everyday and social studies of interwar Vienna as well as fascinating shots of the American way of life with sensitive portraits of great personalities and 'Street photography' from New York.
