Der Weltkrieg
Der Weltkrieg
This cigarette card collector's book was produced and compiled in Germany in the late 1930's as a commemoration of World War I, providing a visual record of scenes both on the front and at home. The war theme was popular in the 1930's and was later used for propaganda purposes during the growth of Nazism.
The book has a paper-bound album style binding, and the front cover and spine cover are damaged. Cigarette cards (small-format photo-mechanical prints, collected from cigarette packs) are mounted with adhesive on acidic paper, and many are detached and loose. The loss to the cover will be repaired, the cigarette cards reattached, and the protective tissue paper interleaving throughout the book will be replaced.
