Constructing Imperial Berlin
Photography and the Metropolis

Buy Book
This is the first book to critically assess, contextualize, and frame urban and architectural photographs of Berlin's crucial Imperial years between 1871 and 1918. Imperial Berlin emerges as a modern metropolis, only half-heartedly inhibited by urban preservationist concerns and rather more akin to North American cities in their bold industrialization and competing urban expansions than to European counterparts.
