Friedrich Seidenstücker (1882–1966) endowed his photographs of the harsh realities of everyday life in the Weimar Republic with a determined optimism, spontaneity and even whimsy. Of Hippos and Other Humans surveys these works alongside his animal studies and haunting photographs of Berlin in the aftermath of World War II.
