Mit Kamera und Schreibmaschine durch Europa / Erich Grisar. Berlin: Der Bücherkreis, 1932
“Realized apparently in a more straightforward fashion is another travel account, Erich Grisar’s Mit Kamera und Schreibmaschine durch Europa (Crosing Europe with a camera and a typewriter) from 1932. The printed cover boards show spectacular juxtapositions of press photos, as a preview of the book’s visual strategy. The short narratives, typeset in sans serif, were contrasted with telling pictures from his journey, resulting in a modern book as a whole, with aesthetics reminiscent of the illustrated press”.
