Kurt Hielscher
Kurt Hielscher (1881-1948) was a German photographer and author known for his extensive travels across Spain during the early 20th century. His work, particularly in his book 'Picturesque Spain' (originally 'Das Unbekannte Spanien'), captured the essence of Spanish landscapes, cultures, and people through over 300 photographs taken between 1914 and 1919. Hielscher's explorations were prompted by his unexpected stay in Spain due to the outbreak of World War I. His images reflect a commitment to documenting lesser-known regions and communities, providing a unique visual narrative of Spain during a transformative period in its history.
