Mexico / Mexiko
Architecture, Landscape, Culture, Daily Life
A very rare book full of beautiful full page photographs (in high quality photo gravure technique)
taken in the early 1900's (probably post WWI) by noted photographer Brehme (over 200 of the plates are by
Brehme) depicting urban and countryside scenes, 
buildings, and people throughout Mexico. As usual in the Orbis
Terrarum series, the gravure reproductions have exceptional clarity and tonal range.
This precious book was not affordable by too many people at that time.
And there is no other book of that time which comes close to the printing quality of that title.
Photographs titled in English, Spanish, German, French and Italian.
From the series "Orbis Terrarum" , a series of early photobooks portraying the regions of the world.
