Album information :

  • Issued by : Many small companies, but printed by Continentale Verlags-Anstalt, Sigmund Loewenthal, Hamburg
  • Date of issue : 1912
  • Number of stamps/cards : 330
  • Image variants : -

Background

The album was issued in 1912 and contained an introduction, followed by 40 pages for 480 images. According to Köberich only 330 were actually issued (but I am aware of 360 so far).

The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well). These companies issued advertising cards, with two images, that could be cut out and placed in the album. Probably due to WWI the series were not completed, as, according to the cards, one card was issued weekly. With 480 cards that would mean 240 weeks, or finishing by the end of 1916 or early 1917.

The album was issued as the first out of a series of two (the second was never issued) and contained the arms of present and former (non-European) countries and European cities.

At least two different album formats for the first album were issued, see the two images above. In the left version the index was added as loose pages, whereas in the right album the index was part of the album. Except for the typography and the name of the album, the albums are identical in content.

The cards were also sold as postcards, without advertisement and perforations.
