Essay by Kaspar Surber

A pioneering aviator and cofounder of a legendary airline was, from his earliest flights, also an avid photographer, and his spectacular views of the Alps have been popular since he began publishing them in the 1920s. He also participated in expeditions to distant locations, supporting his activities by selling prints and receiving donations from patrons. This volume reproduces two hundred of the most striking and historically significant images from the archive, including a famous seaplane trip to Africa that made him a household name in both aviation and the medium.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
