The Weimar era was a politically turbulent, economically uncertain but culturally dazzling age, which began with the end of the First World War in 1918 and ended abruptly when the Nazis came to power.
The documentary photographs in this book take the reader on an extraordinary journey through time, as it was in Berlin during the 1920s that the age of the visual mass media began.
In addition to recording the great events of the age, journalists began to take a keener interest in people's daily lives, capturing them in superb photo essays.
This new approach found expression in the high circulation illustrated magazines of the Weimar Republic, which helped forge the bond between photographs and press reports that has shaped modern journalism.
