Album von Bremen Folding Viewbook, ca. 1900

This folding viewbook features 32 lithographic scenes of Bremen, Germany, housed in a red embossed hardcover with gilt and black decorative stamping and German script reading "Album von Bremen" on the cover. Inside, multiple accordion-folded panels display monochrome printed images depicting key city sites, including the Rathaus, Dom, Kaiserbrücke, Bahnhofs, and Freihafen. Approximate closed dimensions are 5 x 6.5 inches. Each image is labeled in German, providing a visual record of Bremen’s landmarks as they appeared in the early twentieth century. The spine and boards show minor edge wear, consistent with handling and age. This item was likely produced for visitors or residents, serving both as a souvenir and a document of the city's urban landscape at the time. BP
