Strache W., Steinert O. The German Photographic Annual 1966

Verlag DSB Dr. Wolf Strache, 1965. — 226 p.Photographic annuals which are nothing more than a "gallery" of pretty pictures seem to us to be an outmoded institution. In our opinion an annual like the German Photographic Annual should show not only the best pictures of the year but through these pictures the year itself, the outstanding events, the personalities who have left their mark upon it; in short, it should reflect the spirit of the year.Every year the editors are again faced with the same problem whether there will be enough good and interesting photos to compile such an ambitious annual. Fortunately these fears have proved unfounded, for the number of excellent photos increases rather than decreases. The number of entries submitted for the 1966 edition of this Annual and the number of first-class photos was greater than ever before.
