Köln, Germany: J.P. Bachem, 1996. Aufl edition (1996). Hardcover. Very Good+/None Issued. 96 pp. Chiefly illustrations. 29 cm. Tall 4to. Hardcover. Photo illustrated boards. In 1970 the prolific German photographer Chargesheimer published the book "Köln 5uhr30". "Chargesheimer's Köln 5 Uhr 30 marks a crucial turning point in the history of European photobooks. Fascinated by the look of early morning, deserted streets, Chargesheimer here portrays his native Cologne in folio photogravure plates that convey a "vaguely sinister atmosphere... Chargesheimer created a rigorous formal framework for this book, determined by the steep perspective generated by the wide- angle lens and the fact that every image is vertical" (Parr & Badger I:223) Twenty five years later Wolfgang Vollmer retraced the now deceased Chargesheimer's steps and produced this book; Köln 1970-1995, 37 pairs of full page b&w plates . Chargeshiemer's 1970 photograph verso, Vollmer's 1995 photograph recto (same lensing, camera position,… Read more

Munich: Droemersche Verlagsanstalt th. Knaur Nachf, 1969. Reprint. Hardcover. Very Good +/Good +. 360pp. 8to. (23cm). Oatmeal coloured cloth over boards, olive green lettering. (Beautiful book btw). We acquired this book because the dust jacket (good+ condition: bit tattered at the edges) has a kind of demented Semitic looking(not in a good way) Christmas elf hovering on the top left corner of the jacket and that elf is holding some 1x2's in a way that suggests violence. There's also a pretty complicated book-binding project featured on the same front panel and that demented-elf-book-binding-project combination was way too much to resist. A collector of striking graphic dust jackets from Germany would do well to consider this offering. A closer look at the contents of the book reveal that , if all civilization were to be destroyed tomorrow, with this one volume one would have the clear - illustrated - explained-in-German step by steps to make just about anything worth making. So you survivalists… Read more
