Martin Hürlimann

Martin Hürlimann (November 12, 1897 – March 4, 1984)[1] was a Swiss photographer. His work was published in a number of books. Western European cities were a common theme, but he also photographed Ceylon and Southeast Asia.

In the 1930 English edition of his book Burma, Ceylon, Indo-China, Hürlimann wrote "My photographs were chiefly taken with a Sinclair camera, Zeiss lens, and Kodak films."
