Description
During World War I, the German Empire imposed passport requirements in its occupied territories and, consequently, a new kind of photo policy. From 1915 onward, millions of group photographs were taken that were cut up into individual photos and glued into German passports. These passports and passport photos were used to demonstrate power of control. In her book, Britta Lange outlines the forgotten history of passport photography under duress.
