FOTOJAGD AM
MEERSGRUND
Hans Hass (Photo Hunt at the Bottom of the Sea - Google Translation) Subtitle: Erlebnis und technik der unterwasserfotografie (Experience and Technology of Underwater Photography - Google Translation) Published by: I M Heering-Verlag in Harzburg, Germany in 1942. The lower image is the softcover. Hardback - 220 printed pages. Dimensions: 22 cms tall by 16.5 cms wide. It seems really strange to me that a book of this quality can be published in the height of a world war. The book contains many photographs, in fact it claims 104, many of which are full page and even more surprising, there are 8 full page colour plates. All the book show Hans Hass and his friends "goggling" or breath hold diving, many with spear and spearfishing - the only exceptions showing them diving with an open helmet with air line to the surface and a picture of a diver in an open helmet at an aquarium in Chicago. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the text but many of the photographs included appear again in later books. [pt] See Pat Baker's review below. .. |
VORSTOSS IN
DIE TIEFE.
Hans Hass. (Advancing into the Deep). Published in 1972 This one you might find realy strange. It's published by the fuel company Esso and you could collect cards when you filled up your gas tank. It's a general underwater book with nice photographs (sort of a light version of Seven Seas.) Some of the colour plates are paste-in, so I presume these were collected also. [ps] A special thankyou to Alexander Becker of the Netherlands for his descriptions, and sending me a copy of this rather unique book. ,, |
