Venue: Institut für Stadtgeschichte, Karmeliterkloster, Frankfurt/M.

Through fashion and promoting optimism, they encouraged people to believe in better times ahead. Photographers such as Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Will McBride developed distinctive visual languages that captured—and helped shape—the cultural and social spirit of the era. READ MORE at Website Institut für Stadtgeschichte
