The second volume of this comprehensive account of the German-language photobook of the interwar period presents important photographers such as Albert Renger-Patzsch and Paul Wolff, significant book series such as Das Deutsche Lichtbild, productive publishers such as F. Bruckmann, and striking image themes such as the nude, architecture and the 1936 Olympics. The 40 expert contributions are illustrated with 2,000 colour illustrations showing the photobooks, often for the first time, in their original designs and all editions. The first volume of Autopsie was awarded Silver at the German Photobook Award 2013.
