Description
The literal believability of any photograph today can be called into question in view of the possibilities of computer manipulation. Was it ever so?This unique collection of photographs from the turn of the century shows how "retouchng" was used, even at the outset, to manipulate reality. Drawn from the Metz collection in Baden-Wurttemburg, the images come from the early postcard producer, Geler, and range across an astonishingly diverse field of subjects.Included are classic postcard scenes, but also the first soccer players, natives in Cameroon, folkfests in Southern Germany, zeppelins and much more. Over 200 photographs, based on the original large format glass negatives, show "manipulated" images from 1896-1920.This book is a must for students of the history of photography and connoisseurs of the genre.
