Child Care Activities in Poland: Summer Colonies Initiated and Supported by the American Joint Distribution Committee, Paris: AJDC

Date 1935
Dimensions Paper: 12 1/4 x 10 in. (31.1 x 25.4 cm)
Print medium Ephemera

The design of this report, which incorporates avant-garde photomontage and bold, streamlined typographic innovations (paragraphs arranged in an hourglass shape), unusual for a large relief organization at that time, suggests that Vishniac and the JDC shared an affinity for modern approaches to photography and design. Another JDC report from the same year, on free-loan kassas in Poland, employed more extensive photomontage layouts, incorporating several photographs by Vishniac.
