Käthe Buchler’s Photographs of Germany in the Great War.
About
A comprehensive exhibition of photographs never before seen in the UK, providing a window into life on the homefront and showing Germans struggling with the everyday privations of war.
These extraordinarily beautiful and detailed photographs were produced by Käthe Buchler a middle-class wife and mother, and an exceptionally talented amateur photographer. The exhibitions also includes a small selection of Autochromes, photographs made using the world’s first commercially available colour process.
The exhibition presents a fascinating tableau for those interested in Twentieth Century German history, the history of the First World War, for photography enthusiasts and for those interested in the emergence of photography as a widely disseminated mass participation activity.
