New reprinted edition of Kurt Hielscher's Romania edition by IPG Book Distribution
Originally published in 1933, Romania by Kurt Hielscher is an astonishing volume of photographs depicting the life of Romanian people in the interwar era. In 1931 he was invited by the Romanian government to visit the country. "As time went on," he said "every day, every week I loved the country more." It was a love that grew throughout 1931 and 1932 and resulted in over 5000 photographs of which 304 were finally selected for this album. Unfortunately in 1944, an Allied bombing destroyed his life's work after hitting his workshop in Poland. He lost over 40,000 photographs and negatives. This photo album is a recreation of Hielscher's work and brings an homage to the love and appreciation he showed for Romania. Featuring over 300 black and white and sepia photographs, a colorized cover, a preface from Octavian Goga, and an introduction by Ernest H. Latham, Jr., it's a one-of-a-kind collection for anyone interested in the history of Romania.

Today I opened a Contact & Support page on the website. If you'd like to, you can get in touch with me directly, and find ways to supprot my project. There's also the possibility to become a sponsor. I need a sponsor soon to be able to tackle the problem of running out of bandwidth. With some 1.000 visitors on the site in the first ten days of January bandwith limits for the rest of the month are almost there. Solution: a twice as expensive subscription. If you are interested, send me a message, please via the new contactpage.

Due to the pandemic I am currently not travelling abroad. A trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina in March 2020 had to be cancelled, unfortunately. So I bought myself a 1928 photobook of my own country, The Netherlands, to do something in the meantime, not by the hand of Kurt Hielscher, but with work from various photographers. I called this project "Holland 1928-now".
