An album of Sammelwerk cards. Nr 15. Adolf Hitler
1935réf. 4838Germany 1935 1935. A collection of 195 photographs and 5 reproductions of paintings and drawings by Adolf Hitler. The photographs are all from number 15 of the Sammelwerk "Cigarette cards" issued as Adolf Hitler propaganda in 1935. The larger photographs measure 170x120mm and the smaller one 120x80mm. They have been tipped into a notebook 208x150mm which was "borrowed" from the first owner's place of work as it has on the front cover the name of the company - Wehrle-Werk A.G. - which still exists. As the images are tipped in it means that the captions and information on the back can be read. A few of the photographs are torn at the edges but overall they are in very good condition. These photographs are not particularly uncommon but they are usually found loose and so it is rare to find then put together in this rather tidy organised way. On the inside cover is inscribed "J.L.Lindsell Schleswigland 1945". The name sounds English and perhaps it was seized by an invading soldier towards the end of the war. The original owner clearly lavished a lot of time on this album. There is a typed label on the front cover and then some of the early photographs have typed captions underneath them. An interesting collection. Germany 1935 hardcover
