The True Face of Germany - Schleswig Holstein
Very beautiful photo book with excellent photos showing the facial expression
of people from the following German areas of Schleswig Holstein:
The Northern March or North March (German: Nordmark), North Frisia (German: Nordfriesland),
Dithmarschen, Hallig or Halligen [ ten small German islands without protective dikes],
Fohr or Föhr, Sylt, Amrum, Schleswig Geest, Angeln, Fehmarn, Hitler-Koog ...
Schleswig Holstein is the northernmost of the sixteen states of Germany, comprising most
of the historical duchy of Holstein and the southern part of the former Duchy of Schleswig.
The author Erna Lendvai-Dircksen was born in 1883. She first studied painting, and in 1910 took up photography.
In 1911 she began her magnum opus, a photographic study of the peasants of all the German regions,
which she continued until the Second World War.
In 1933 she receives acclaim as the photographer of "the True Face of Germany" ,
as opposed to the work of August Sander. In 1943 her archives are destroyed in an air raid.
This volume is part of her extended document of the German peoples.
