'The ninety-eight photographs in this book, twenty of which are in colour, are divided almost equally between these two expressions of Roman Vishniac's ''reverence for life'' - be it life that is invisible, or the life that vanished. Essays by Eugene Kinkead and by Vishniac himself accompany the photographs'.
