BRIEFER MENTION

Terra Ladina, by Hermann Hiltbrunner. 72 pages of text, with 53 full-page illustrations from photographs by Michael Wolfgen- singer. Zürich: Scientia Verlag, 1944.

This is a picture book, now in its second edition, revealing the beauty of the Engadine, its landscape and architecture, from the source of the Inn at the Maloja Pass, from St. Moritz and Pon- tresina, to the lower reaches of the valley at Guarda, Ardez and Schuls-Tarasp. The picturesque lanes of the villages are a principal subject; their light and color are as evident as in the paintings of Segantini. Portraits of the people and pictures of work in the fields round out the values of this corner of Switzerland. A graphic text by a native poet forms an admirable descriptive background.
