The Ditch, by photographic artist Emanuel Cederqvist, recounts the story of a forgotten defence line built on Öland, a small island on the east coast of Sweden, during the Second World War. The line was intended to act as an obstacle for tanks, splitting the island into two parts near the village of Föra. In the book, Cederqvist’s images are combined with documentary material from the Military Archives of Sweden, records which remained classified until the 1980s.
The book was published in 2021 by Blackbook Publications.
The cover is screen printed with white pigment on a blue paper and debossed with a glossy transparent foil.
