Author: Vivienne Silver-BrodyFor four decades, Vivienne Silver-Brody has collected photographs of Palestine/Eretz Israel taken from the 19th century until the turn of the 21st, cre ating a multi-faceted photographic narrative of the land. This book showcases some three hundred of these photographs, presenting diversified perspectives, landscapes, portraits, lifestyles, dress, traditions, and customs. Includes essays on selected photographs from various contributors of different religious, cultural, and national backgrounds. For the last section of the book, Silver-Brody invited sixty individuals—photographers, scholars, artists, curators, and collectors from different religious, cultural, and national backgrounds—to choose a single photograph and to write a short essay relating to it. These texts together offer a fascinating narrative, thus adding significant historical relevance.ISBN 9783422802636.
