Created by German-born photographer John Gutmann, the book features 167 black-and-white duotone images that offer a fresh and often unconventional perspective on a tumultuous era. Unlike many photographers of the time who focused on rural hardship and economic despair, Gutmann turned his lens toward the vitality of urban life and the rich diversity of American culture. His images document everything from street scenes and parades to intimate glimpses of everyday life, reflecting the resilience and character of people facing uncertain times. Having arrived in the United States in 1933, Gutmann brought an outsider’s eye to American society, capturing details that native-born photographers might overlook. His work reveals both a fascination with and a deep respect for the uniqueness of American identity during the Depression era. The book includes an essay by art critic Max Kozloff, who provides insightful commentary on Gutmann’s artistic approach and the cultural significance of his work. Edited by Lew Thomas, this volume functions both as a historical document and a powerful piece of visual storytelling, preserving a vivid portrait of a nation in flux.. Very Good- with no dust jacket .
