Zillertal und Alpbachtal, Ein Bildwerk. By Simon Moser. Innsbruck: Tyroler Verlag, 1956. Illustrations. Price 48 Sch.

Like all photo-books which Professor Moser has published, this collection of 89 pictures of Zillertal and Alpbachtal presents the scene through an artistic eye. We would mention especially the view of Zell from the Zellberg, in which the village and church emerge like an island through the mist and cloud, or that of the Stillup waterfall, like a painting of fairyland. There are many fine costume-plates of Alpbachtal valley, which developed a unique system of pattern and color in its peasant art. These valleys arise on the Italian frontier and enter the Inn from the south, the Zillertal at Jenbach and the Alpbachtal at Brixlegg.
