Signed. René Burri's first book was published by Fretz & Wasmuth Verlag in Zurich as Die Deutschen and by Robert Delpire in Paris as Les Allemands. Imago printed both editions, but Die Deutschen was delivered earlier and bore a publishing date of 1962. Robert Delpire published this edition as part of his Encyclopédie essentielle series, which included Robert Frank's 1958 book Les Américains. Burri's book mirrors his fellow Swiss in concept and format, with an extended photo essay accompanied by extracted texts by various authors.

First edition, signed opposite the title-page; oblong 8vo (185 x 210 mm, 7¼ x 8¼ in); black-and-white photographs printed in gravure by Imago, Zurich, texts by various authors selected by Jean Baudrillard; plain endpapers, illustrated laminated paper-covered boards printed in black, purple, and green, laminate lifting at joints, corners rubbed, near-fine; [ii], 166pp.

The Photobook: A History I, p218; Swiss Photobooks pp244-51, pp668-9.
