Lots of great photos, articles and vintage adverts from the day. This book was originally published in German. Publication date 1938. 53 pages of text plus 72 full color photo plates. Each photo is captioned with specifications. Photos vary from U.S. to Germany and Eastern Europe. Fascinating for time period. The author had no intention of writing a how to do it book, rather, it may be said in another cliche that he had attempted to write a do-it-yourself book. Techniques are briefly described for their informational value in hope that that reader may feel creative intrigue to conduct their own adventures in making prints and transparencies.
