(erste Ausg. von 1950). – Seltenes Propaganda-Werk. – „The reconstruction of Europe after World War II was a pressing issue on both sides of the Iron Curtain. In the Eastern Bloc, more devastated by the conflict and less affluent, it took somewhat longer but was more of a reason for national pride. Two photobooks from Poland illustrate this. Both are architectural albums, the earlier volume recording in some detail the rebuilding of the country’s capital after a programme of deliberate and wanton destruction by the Nazis and the other (Nowa Huta, Krakau 1959) documentig the construction of Nowa Huta, the first of Poland’s new postwar planned communities, begun in 1949 and now a suburb of Krackow. The extent of Poland’s suffering is detailed in the Warsaw book, a ‚before and after‘ volume that functions as both a memorial and a progress report. It is a matter of some pride to the Poles that the historic heart of the city, razed by the Nazis, was restored with great faithfulness. The book records the devastation, with numerous images of heaps of rubble, then outlines the reconstruction plan with plans and charts, finally showing shinning examples of the results of much painstaking labour“ (Parr/Badger). – Rücken am Fuß etwas bestoßen, gutes sauberes Exemplar.
