Richard Peter Senior’s photographs of Dresden after World War II offer a powerful visual record of the city’s destruction and its slow recovery. Working in the immediate aftermath of the bombings, he documented ruins, survivors, and the fractured urban landscape with a clear, unsentimental eye. His images convey both the scale of devastation and the resilience of everyday life, serving as a poignant chronicle of a city grappling with the consequences of war. – Some light handling creases and minimal surface irregularities, otherwise in very good condition.
