A propos de cet article

AUSTRALIAN PHOTOGRAPHY -Published in 1931, The Fifth Continent is a landmark photobook by the German-born British photographer Emil Otto Hoppà . It documents his ten-month journey across Australia, becoming the first work by a foreign photographer to cover the entire nation, featuring 160 iconic black-and-white plates detailing cities, the Outback, and Aboriginal peoples.ÂEmil Otto Hoppà (E.O. Hoppà ) spent nearly a year traversing Australia in 1930, capturing a vibrant, rapidly changing, and diverse nation. The book, titled after the traditional moniker for Australia, captures a striking contrast between modern European settlement and the ancient, untouched landscapes.ÂKey features of The Fifth Continent include: The Construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge: Hoppà captured some of the earliest and most dramatic structural photos of the bridge before its completion. Cultural Diversity: He documented a broad spectrum of Australian life, from glamorous sunbathers at Bondi Beach to the harsh lives of desert opal miners (including a sole female miner) and lumberjacks. [1, 2] Indigenous Communities: He extensively photographed Aboriginal peoples and their tribal traditions, offering a complex (and historically significant) look at Indigenous culture during a time of heavy European influence. [1, 2] Format: The book features 160 full-page letterpress plates paired with thirty-two pages of introductory text rendered in letterpress.ÂThe original print, recognized for its orange cloth cover and teal blue text, is highly collectible.First Edition. xxxi p., 160 p. of plates : ill. ; 29 cm. #180726 (Some flecking to cloth covers, no dustjacket.) Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973. Elizabeth's family-owned business operates four branches in Perth CBD, Fremantle (WA), and Newtown (NSW). All orders are dispatched within 24 hours from our Fremantle Warehouse.
