Description:
Heilbronn. Hardcover. Very good . Cloth binding with string (broken). About 11 x 8 5/8 inches. 18 leaves, many with glassine interleaves. Some photographs are loose. The subject of this old family photograph album is not identified, but from internal evidence--inscriptions on the backs of the photographs--he appears to have been Karl Rieger who was born about 1905 in the German city of Heilbronn. The photographs show him as a young man with friends as he and they take walking and youth hostelling trips together. Later in preparation for joining the Luftwaffe he learns to fly gliders. Then he is seen in uniform and at his base, including in the dormitory with his fellow airmen. The base may have been near Munich because there are pictures of that city too. Finally, there are very poignant scenes of a funeral, for apparently he has been killed in action. One poignant last picture shows him as a young boy with his school class.-This album was clearly put together by a loved one. It has photographs of… Read More

Description:
1631 Werdenhagen Hanseatic League German Hansa Hamburg Rebuspublicis Bohme
Johann Angelius Werdenhagen was a 17th-century German philosopher whose failed attempts at becoming a syndic in the Hanseatic League in Hamburg resulted in his now famous history of the Hanseatic League. The Hanseatic League was a German economic community designed to provide structure to merchants and markets across Europe. However, because of his Christian-based writings and Jakob Bohme influence, Werdenhagen became heavily criticized and excluded from the Hamburg Hansa.
