这本杰出的作品集横跨德国的各个角落，展示了这个当时年轻、繁荣和自信的国家的**批彩色摄影图片。本书由广受好评的《1900年的美国》的作者撰写，书中收录了约800张彩色照片，在时间的侵蚀和历史的创伤发生之前，为这个国家最美丽、最具神话色彩的地方描绘了一幅迷人而又凄美的全景图。

本书通过约800张彩色图片，展现了世纪之交的德国人喜欢看到的样子：自信、闪耀、爱国，但也相信进步。与广受好评的《1900年的美国》一样，这些图片都是历史上罕见的光色工艺的例子，这种印刷技术可以将黑白照片复制成彩色。

Spanning the length and breadth of Germany, this remarkable collection features the first color photographic images of what was then a young, prosperous, and self-confident nation. From the authors of the critically acclaimed America 1900, the book features some 800 photochroms to create a fascinating, poignant panorama of the country’s most beautiful and mythical sites, before the ravages of time and traumas of history set in.

Through some 800 color pictures, this book presents turn-of-the-century Germany as it liked to see herself: self-

confident, glittering, patriotic but also with a belief in progress and – for those who could afford it – a cosmopolitan flair. As in the critically acclaimed America 1900 the images are all rare examples of the historical photochrom process, a printing technique that allowed black-and-white photographs to be reproduced in colour.
