Advance Press:

“…this book is more than a collection of forgotten photographs. The approximately 250 images form a vivid portrait of Europe and New York in the years immediately following the war…the work of a remarkable photographer has been rediscovered…”Fotografie

“… A debut book demonstrates Baer’s gift for catching people in the most unguarded and vulnerable moments of their lives – at work, at rest, at play… recording the everyday moments that are often overshadowed by major world events or iconic figures. Here, the painting is coloured in, the outlines filled to reveal a full and vibrant portrait of a bygone era...” Aesthetica Magazine
