170 ethnographic photographs of Estonian people captured by seven reputable photographers active before 1940<\/strong><\/p>\n

This book of photographs is a compilation of images by renowned Estonian photographers before World War II, captured with a sincere desire to perpetuate the cultural heritage of their people and native country. However, all of these photographers were much more than mere documenters. They were committed to Estonian national culture, creatively and naturally employing their mastered medium of photography in its service. They have photographed Estonian people as an artistic challenge, but perhaps also from a sense of responsibility towards the people of their time as well as future generations.<\/p>\n
