NEW REICHSCHANCELLERY PHOTO BOOK - KANTER |
This is a small but very rare and important Third Reich German book of photographs of the New German Reichschancellery as built in 1938 for Adolf Hitler. Unlike the big book of the same title published by the Nazi Publishing House Franz Eher Nachfolger in Munich, this one has only three pages of text by architect Albert Speer and sixty full-page photos of the magnificent building and its contents.
Kanter-Verlag published this softcover book to fill the demand for an inexpensive souvenir book on the Reichschancellery in Berlin for visitors to the German capital. The business of the Königsberg company was publishing small but concise guidebooks on subjects of art and architecture. They published other volumes on the work of sculptor Arno Breker, Caspar David Friedrich (one of Hitler's favorite painters), Albrecht Dürer, Nazi Kriegszeichner, etc. and this book was number 29 in their series.
The full-page photos in the 4-5/8 x 6-1/4 inch book depict all the important aspects of Speer’s most important work. There are photos of the east Voßstraße entrance with its huge eagle and swastika, front and rear facades, Thorak and Breker statues, the garden, greenhouse, the Wilhelmplatz side of the building, Honor Courtyard, Mosaic Hall, Marble Gallery, Round Hall, SS Guards, dining room and many pictures of the Hitler Office. The paper, photo quality and printing is excellent.
