In the travel reportage book created by Jan TSCHICHOLD - representative of the new typography of the Bauhaus and one of the most famous book designers of the 20th century - the Dortmund-born photographer and writer Erich GRISAR documents prosperity and poverty, but also the everyday life in European metropolises Late 1920s.
Erich GRISAR's literary work shows the Ruhr area in all its facets of the 1920s and 1930s, but also of the immediate post-war period. As a writer and journalist, he deals with working life and emphasized the anecdotal aspects of everyday life.
Erich GRISARS photographs show milieu studies that were made while traveling in Germany and abroad, as well as previously unknown views of the Ruhr area. The photo & text volume 'Mit Kamera und Schreibmaschine durch Europa' contains 101 b/w ills.
In 27 chapters, GRISAR reports in a sober, matter-of-fact style about its travel experiences away from the usual tourist routes. In Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Warsaw, Venice, Marseille and many others, he also explores the back streets, working-class districts and industrial regions and visits the former battlefields of World War I in Belgium.
The National Socialists put the book on the index in 1938.
