Presentation copy. Presentation copy in the scarce dust-jacket, inscribed: '[...] / Essen den 18. Jan. 1935 / Albert Renger-Patzsch'.
Eisen und Stahl is an important work in the history of modern photography. It exemplifies Renger-Patzsch's New Objectivity approach and attempts to redefine how industry and technology could be photographed. It was published, in part, to persuade a sceptical public that all was well with the ailing German economy prior to the fall of the Weimar government.
First edition in the scarce dust-jacket, presentation copy inscribed in black ink on front free endpaper; plain endpapers, silver paper-covered boards, blue cloth spine with titles stamped in white, upper side stamped in black, publisher's photo-illustrated dust-jacket, black, text in white, light wear to edges, head and foot of spine chipped, a fine copy in an exceptional dust-jacket; [96]pp.
Regards sur en siècle de photographie à travers le livre 40; The Photobook: A History I, p125; The Open Book: A history of the photographic book from 1878 to the present pp102-103; Auer Collection p175.
