This is an extremely rare example of the small 7-1/8 x 10 inch very heavily illustrated 8-page black & white catalog published by Franz Hanfstaengl in München (Munich) and offering their line of frameable prints of Nazi Führer Adolf Hitler, NSDAP leaders, and buildings of interest to the Nazi Party.

The Hanfstaengl firm was run by Ernst "Putzi" Hanfstaengl, son of the founder (Edgar Hanfstaengl) of the print publishing company. He was the Nazi press liaison to Hitler and an intimate of Hitler and other early Nazis during the founding of the party. He became the head of the Nazi Foreign Press Bureau in Berlin and Hitler was the godfather of Hanfstaengl's son Egon.

The undated catalog features well-known full-face prints of Adolf Hitler as well as far more obscure prints featuring Hitler seated with his German Shepherd, the Blutfahne or Nazi Blood Flag, Hitler's cell in Landsberg prison, the Nazi monument at the Feldherrnhalle in Munich, the Braunes Haus in Munich, Gasthof Pommer - Hitler's house of birth in Braunau am Inn, Hitler speaking to early followers and Nazi leaders like Heinrich Himmler, Josef Goebbels, Hermann Goering, Viktor Lutze, Rudolf Hess, Baldur von Schirach, Horst Wessel, etc.

The catalog contains a loose sheet offering the copy of the famous Hoyer-Oberstdorf painting Am Anfang war das Wort (In the Beginning There Were Words).

All the pictures offered for sale show the various sizes available and their prices.

Very rare Third Reich image material in good used condition.
