Georg Stärk, Marie-Pierre Dupont — Die Strasse der tausend Gesichter
Lausanne: Mondo. First edition, first printing. 52 pp.. Condition: Very Good (VG). Minimal traces of use With dust jacket. Photographs accompany a survey of historic roads and routes, with text exploring their cultural and historical dimensions. The subjects include the Incense Road, the Amber Roads, the Salt Roads, Roman roads, the Silk Road and pilgrimage routes. Rather than concentrating on one road, the book brings these different pathways together within a single illustrated work. Its scope extends from routes named after incense, amber, salt and silk to those associated with Rome and with pilgrims. The combination of photography and text gives the treatment a visual as well as a written dimension, with roads providing the common subject throughout.
