WORLD MUSIC PICTURE ARCHIVE


 The WORLD MUSIC PICTURE ARCHIVE 
is devoted to the visual documentation of traditional music from around the world. It contains several thousand pictures from more than 70 countries showing indiginous musicians with traditional instruments in an enormous variety of different circumstances and settings. These photographs and postcards were produced in the first half of the 20th century, and are from the extraordinary collection of music historian Dr Christoph Wagner. 

We have supplied pictures for books, newspapers, magazines, TV documentaries, exhibitions and museums in the UK, Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain. These include The Rough Guide to World Music, Trikont Records, Wergo Records, Mississippi Records, Honest Jon's Records, fRoots, Songlines, Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, Folker, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Die Tageszeitung/taz, Stuttgarter Zeitung, Südkurier, Schwarzwälder Bote,  Die Wochenzeitung/WoZ, Transit Verlag (Berlin), Verlag Antje Kunstmann (Munich), Deutsches Harmonika Museum (Trossingen) & Valentin-Karlstadt-Museum (Munich).

If you looking for a particular picture, please get in touch. We might have what you are after.
