August Sander (1876-1964) spent his life intending to create a collective portrait of the German people, an undertaking which remained incomplete at the time of his death. This reconstruction by Keller, a professor of art history, in collaboration with Gunther Sander, the photographer's son, was compiled from Sander's notes and negatives. The photographs cover the years of the Kaisers, the Weimar Republic, the Nazi regime, and the early Federal Republic and have become a landmark in the history of photography. The images are presented in 45 portfolios, divided into seven sections on farmers, workers, women, occupations, artists, the big city, and the last people. Photographs by August Sander; text by Ulrich Keller; edited by Gunter Sander; translated by Linda Keller. 512 pages; 431 full-page duo-toned b&w plates + 75 text illustrations; 9.25 x 11.75 inches.
