Workbook, pocket atlas, scrapbook, picture

Historically significant document and collectible group, consisting of a work book, a pocket atlas with diary function, several collectible picture albums, and a contemporary portrait of Adolf Hitler. The group originates from private ownership and combines different forms of personal documentation, collecting culture, and visual historical testimony.

Contents of the group:
– Work book (personal employment document)
– Pocket atlas with diary (combination of cartographic material and personal notes)
– Cigarette collectible album “The German Wehrmacht”
– Collectible album “The New Reich – A Pictorial Sequence of Our Time”
– Portrait of Adolf Hitler, painted by Jacobs

Execution: Original contemporary printed and pictorial items. The collectible albums were intended for mounting cigarette collectible pictures and propaganda image series. The pocket atlas with diary represents a particularly interesting combination of practical use and personal documentation.

Condition: Age- and use-related wear present. Overall a coherent and authentic group with high historical relevance. The state of preservation corresponds to that of a privately used collection.
