In 1937, Jewish photographer Max Jacoby fled his hometown of Koblenz for Argentina. A position as a camera assistant to photographer Georges Friedmann offered a new beginning. Alongside other émigré photographers, he co-founded the artist group "La Carpeta de los Diez". In 1957, Jacoby returned to Berlin, where he continued working as a freelance photographer, capturing portraits of workers, artists, beggars, and politicians, as well as documenting both political events and everyday life in the divided city. – Some buckling, otherwise in very good condition.
