Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2012
I have a copy of Claverol's photo collection in a book written in Catalan and entitled "Escrit amb Llum" ("written with light.") Of all the many books I have related to Andorra and the time I spent there, this is my favourite. I am basing my rating of this edition on the nature of the earlier work. One of the better ways to appreciate these images is to first study some of the events surrounding Andorra from about the year 1920 or so, and particularly the role of Andorra during the Spanish Civil War. In the earlier Escrit Amb Llum edition, there is a photo of the Nationalist troops at the frontier of Andorra, and what is curious about that image is that it is reversed. It will be interesting to see if that was corrected in this later edition. Claverol is probably the most important photographer in Andorra's history, certainly for images prior to 1960. The photos in this book were taken with a Linhof Technika 9X12 and anyone who has toted a camera of that size can appreciate the efforts.
