Product Description

Synopsis
At first the pictures seem to be simply well-composed landscapes and architectural photographs, but there is something very odd about them. What is it that divides a single snow bank into two? Why does a massive steel bridge crown a mud puddle? Why does a guard tower pierce a suburban neighborhood? Rose shows how, when he began photographing in the

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating historical document., 2 Nov 2004

By	"histbooks" - See all my reviews

The Lost Border is the astonishing and powerful visual record of that transformation, published on the fifteenth anniversary of the wall's collapse. Acclaimed photographer Brian Rose began shooting the borderlands between East and West -- from the Baltic Sea down to the Adriatic -- in the early 1980s, while the Cold War was still hot, and has been taking pictures of this eerie terrain ever since. The Lost Border documents the gradual disintegration of the Berlin Wall and the busy reclamation of what was -- and sometimes still remains -- a scarred and brutalized landscape.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of its kind, 1 Mar 2006

By	Petter Brabec "Pete" (Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Obviously, the book is a true exception and there is not much of a competition. Very nice pictures, capturing the spirit of the moment, the division oh so painful as it once was. It is more of an artbook, and I gather it must be simply acknowledged as that. For if you think you'll get a detailed picture and more facts about the iron curtain, this book is not it.
The iron curtain between the two Germanies gets most attention. It always had, no matter what publication.
So, my sigh goes to the poorly covered continuation of the iron curtain further south. For this price, I'll expect at least a precise description of where the photos were taken and when. Secondly, there is no excuse for the claim that the iron curtain south of german-german border was not so easily visible, when it simply is not true and witnesses more of the effort for excusing the selection of pictures, than a real quality research before undertaking the journey.
All in all, a good artbook, but could have been muuuuch better.
