Although she was a prolific photographer, up until recently it was more often than not the woman in front of the camera rather than behind it that was the focus of attention. 1 Between 1933 and 1942, Schwarzenbach traveled extensively in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, India, the United States, and Africa, taking thousands of photos on her journeys, a selection of which she published in around 300 photo-reportages for Swiss Magazines, including the Zu rcher Illustrierte, Basler National-Zeitung, Weltwoche, ABC, and the Neue Zu richer Zeitung. Although not all photographs and negatives could be saved after her untimely death due to a bicycle accident in 1942, the Swiss Literary Archive (SLA) holds over 7,000 photographs that are archived as part of Schwarzenbach's literary remains
