“... and God saw that it was good.”
According to a not entirely unfamiliar story, the Creator labored for six days to create heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested. This book is devoted to worlds in miniature, created by Josef Brandl in 30,000—conservatively estimated—hours of work.
Brandl, the professional’s professional, builds these model railroad layouts—big toys for big boys—for customers all over Europe; he rearranges mountains and valleys, woods, rivers and lakes.
Markus Tiedtke not only photographed the extraordinarily impressive scenes for this book, he also takes us behind the scenes into the master’s workshop: come with us on a voyage of discovery—into the magical world of Brandl’s landscapes.
