About This Item
Leipzig: F. A. Brockhaus, 1941. A big, impressive volume in a custom binding. A collection of 304 full-page photographs of German architecture and landscapes in the interval between the world wars. Taken in the 1920s by German travel photographer Kurt Hielscher (1881-1948.) Printed in sepia tone and captioned in the lower margins. (Some captions in German only, but others with translations in English, French, Spanish, and Italian.) xiii, (1) + the 304 pages of photos. Index of names and places. Brief introduction by Hielscher in German, a b&w map of Germany, and a facsimile of a handwritten letter by German painter Hans Thoma before his death in 1924. Also, a color map of Germany in 1940 is laid into the front of the book. Folded into quarters, with old tape reinforcements at the folds. A large volume. 12 by 9 inches. Handsomely rebound in smooth green cloth with raised spine bands and gilt lettering. VG with light wear, very small bump to lower rear corner. Sound, tight binding. Clean internally, apart from some marks in the margins of the last photo page. Bookplate inside the front cover: "Ex Libris Dietmann." [The plate is unsigned, but the artist was Adolf F.J. Karlovsky, a noted heraldic scholar whose work included re-design of President Reagan's coat of arms.]
