How photography and a modernizing Berlin informed an urban image--and one another--in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuriesSince the fall of the Berlin Wall, the city that once visually epitomized a divided Europe has thrived in the international spotlight as an image of reunified statehood and urbanity.
