a visual comparative "Aus Zoologischen Gärten" /Die blauen Bücher 1927-Germany/ vs. The Gentlewoman /2011-U.K/

i love old things, old publications, clean design, basic elements, this elegance that sustains simple books like photographic essays of german zoos from the 1920´s. But i feel happier when i see that magazines that somehow i feel are doing something nice, and beautiful, have LITERALLY taken -more or less- the creative direction of the beginning of the last century. finding jewels like this blaue buch in antique book shops in münchen is lots of fun. german book design+ visual aesthetics use to be something absolutely fantastic.
