This  photogravure book is part of a famous early 20th century  photographic monograph collection, published between the two world  wars. 
These books bring together: culture, people, ethnic populations,  customs, art and architecture, folklore, costumes, major centers,  small villages, everyday life and landscapes as they were, almost  one hundred years ago, unspoiled by the industrial development. Many  of the places shown in the books disappeared in the last century,  customs and everyday life changed.
