August Sander's book "Face of Our Time," first published in 1929 with a foreword by Alfred Dublin, is a seminal work in German photography. Comprised of sixty portraits, it provides a glimpse into the lives of 20th-century Germans, drawn from Sander's extensive project that began in 1910. This work was not influenced by academic or scientific methods but by Sander's personal observations and instincts regarding human nature and environments. His unique approach and dedication over two decades impart authenticity and depth, making it a cornerstone in the photographic exploration of society and identity.
