August Sander's Portraits: People of the 20th Century video
People of the 20th Century is a 7-volume set, displaying over 600 images from German portrait photographer August Sander and includes essays by experts about his work.
Looking through these volumes you see a brick-maker standing with his craft, a boy and his horse and woman with her child. The important thing about these photographs is they give you a window into a way of life from a bygone era. Sander didn't limit himself to people, he took many pictures of landscapes, nature, architecture and street life too, helping to document the city of Cologne before, during and after the war. Prices for books of Sanders work range from $20 to $9,000 on AbeBooks.
