Title: Album of Original Photographs of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games
Description: Not Stated, Not Stated, 1936. Cloth. A superb photograph album containing forty-five very high quality original photographs taken during the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, a fascinating look at the important Games. A very high quality photograph album showing two women visiting Berlin for the 1936 Olympic Games.The photographs in this scrapbook show Berlin and the Olympic Stadium during the 1936 Summer Olympics. The Olympiastadion was built by Werner March with a capacity of 100,000 people.The 1936 Summer Olympics has gone down in history for its importance, with Adolf Hitler using the games for propaganda, promoting his government and political ideas, only a few years before the outset of the Second World War. In these photographs you can chillingly see the Nazi flag being shown around Berlin. Though Hitler strongly stated that Jewish and black people should not be allowed to participate in the Games, he relented after other nations threatened to boycott. Famously Jesse Owens won four gold medals at this Games, the most successful singular athlete of the games, and as a black American man crushed Hitler's myth of Aryan supremacy.No name is attributed in this volume, but the photographs show two women on the trip together.The scrapbook comprises of forty-five original photographs, and fourteen postcards. One of the postcards is in a handmade envelope to the rear.The scrapbook includes photos of the opening ceremony from a good vantage point but also some scenes not normally seen. Other photographs include the two women around the stadium, and the stadium green being prepared for various events. In the original cloth binding. Externally, the cloth to the tail of the front board is lifting. A small amount of loss to the tail of the front joint and spine, and a smaller amount to the head of the spine. Minor bumping and a little light rubbing to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean. Original photographs are bright and clean. Very Good . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good .
