Die Slowakei (Slovakia) (Original German edition) This rare large oversized book contains 224 high quality sepia toned photogravures of Slovakia.

A photogravure, or "gravure", is a photographic image produced from a copper engraving plate. The process is rarely used today due to the high costs involved, but it produces prints which have the subtlety of a photograph and the art quality of a lithograph. Famous photographer Karel Plicka, nicknamed the "Ansel Adams" of Czechoslovakia, captured Slovakia with stunning photography as it was many years ago. His urban photography shows Slovakia in an unparalleled and extraordinary view. His work is an incarnation of medieval, renaissance, baroque, neo-classical, empire, and art nouveau. Illustrated With 224 Rare High Quality Photogravure Plates Certain images/photos incorporated into this template are the royalty free property of Mariannasm Creative Commons 3.o.
