Text dt. - „»Latitude Zero« bedeutet Breitengrad Null, und dies ist bekanntlich der Äquator. Hierhin hat es die Dokumentarfotografin verschlagen - eine 25 000-Meilen-Odyssee, die sie drei Jahre lang und auf sich allein gestellt durch die Länder am Äquator unternahm: Monique Stauder benötigte keinen Reiseplan und keine Agenda. Das Ziel ihrer besonderen Expedition war es, die Menschen, die ihr unterwegs begegneten, und ihre Lebensweisen authentisch zu dokumentieren. Ihre Begegnungen waren ungewöhnlich und eindrücklich: Eine Bohnenreismahlzeit gemeinsam mit Guerillakämpfern mitten im südkolumbianischen Regenwald. Der Genuss von honigbestrichenen Schildkröten zusammen mit Pygmäen im Kongo. Magische Tänze und leuchtende Kostüme auf einem brasilianischen Volksfest. Ihre Schwarz-Weiss-Fotos bezeugen die uns so oft fremden Kulturen, die hier allerdings nicht in Pose erscheinen, sondern auf sehr subtile Weise spontan eingefangen wurden. Bemerkenswert! Mit einem Text des Autors und Reiseschriftstellers Paul Theroux, durchgehend ganzseitigen Aufnahmen und faksimilierten Tagebuchseiten. Gestalterisch ein Highlight (das Buch ist vice und versa vorn und hinten zu öffnen), inhaltlich sowieso, unbedingt empfehlenswert! Ausgezeichnet mit dem »Deutschen Fotobuchpreis 2011« in Silber.“ (Kat. Frölich & Kaufmann, Berlin 02.2014).

Text hung., short introduction and captions also in engl. - Photographs: The catalogue contains besides photo's of Ferenc Hopp and family around 60 photo's of mostly Asia [nearly all made in 1903: China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia. Some photo's of Africa [Camaroun, Liberia, Congo] and the Orient [Egypt, Syria, Palestine]. Contents: The name of Ferenc Hopp, a wealthy optician, patron of the arts, globetrotter and art collector, has become known far and wide through the Museum of Eastern Asiatic Arts in Budapest. His career, remarkable in the present age, was not particularly unusual in the rapidly modernizing Hungary of the 19th century. But despite his fame, his multifarious activities are little known. For example, few are aware that he was a passionate photographer, and that, as the owner of the optical firm Calderoni and Co., he contributed substantially to the development of photography in Hungary. During his trips round the world he took a large number of photographs, building them up into a collection. In his will he left the overwhelming majority of these to the Hungarian Geographical Society. This part of his estate perished: along with the Society's archive was destroyed in 1944, by a direct hit from a bomb during the siege of Budapest. Fortunately, Ferenc Hopp's art collection, photographs and documents have survived in the villa housing the Museum. Ferenc Hopp made five round-the world trips: 3/09/1882 - 20/08-1883 // 10/05-24/07 1894 // 29/04-2/09 1903 // 03 / 09 1905 // 07/11/1913 - 25/07/1914.(Asia Photobooks Peter van der Kamp, 12.2014).

Text cz., summary engl. - " At the end of 1898 Bedrich Machulka (1875-1954), along with his friend Richard Štorch (1877-1922), travelled to North Africa, where, in Libya, started his career as a traveller, organiser of safari hunting expeditions, dealer in natural products and expert on African wild life. Apart from collecting natural products, both companions also devoted themselves to photography, an activity they never, for the duration of their African stay, desisted from. The collection comprises 3163 negatives. Geographically, the negatives come from the areas where Machulka stayed, that is from Libya, Madagascar, Sudan, Egypt, Oganda, Belgian Congo, Tangayica (today´s Tanzania) and Kenia. They cover the period between 1888 and 1935, the year when Machulka brought his pursuits on the African continent to an end. The publication summarizes the principal data of Bedrich Machulka´s life, deals with his sojourn in different parts of Africa and offers assessment of his photographic work."(Asia Photobooks Peter van der Kamp, 12.2014).

Text cz., summaries engl., span. - "The publication deals with the character of the famous Czech traveller, Enrique Stanko Vráz, and presents a selection of his unique photographs to the reader. The text is divided into three chapters, each of them devoted to one aspect of the life of this personality – Vráz’s as yet unexplained origin, Vráz’s world travels and Vraz’s photographic activities. The pictorial insertion contains photographs from the years 1885 to 1904 of the regions of Africa (Gold Coast – today’s Ghana, the Canary Islands), South, North and Central America and Asia (Japan, Kalimantan, New Guinea, Thailand, China, Korea, Siberia)." (Asia Photobooks Peter van der Kamp, 12.2014).

Text cz., 12 p. summary in engl. - "The book is a monography of a long and fruitful life and various activities of a Czech educationalist, naturalist, writer, collector and and traveller Josef Korenský. It comes with a catalogue with a detailed description of the photograps, brought by Korenský from his travels – from his round the world trip, conducted in 1893 – 1894 and from his so called travel to the antipodes (1900-1901). These photographs come in a large format on cardboard (some of them are coloured) and are stored at the Náprstek museum, at the department of ethnography and in the Náprstek Museum Library. The book comes with an enclosed copy of a CD with an interactive catalogue of photograps." (Asia Photobooks Peter van der Kamp, 12.2014).

Text engl. - A cluttered layout and modest printing quality diminish the value of this book, which is based on good ideas. And, at second sight, the layout offers a few good sight, too, e.g. the line of horizons p. 8-9. (HCA).
