Famous French humanist photographer, Willy Ronis based his reputation on his shots of working-class neighbourhoods of Paris, but his trips abroad received little acclaim. In 1967, the commissioning of a report on East Germany was one of his rare assignments outside of France, providing an opportunity to give the public an authentic report of daily life on the other side of the Wall.
