Vintage German Scrapbook Pages Meisenheim Alzey Photos Art Prints Lot Ephemera
Pages show light edge wear and mild age toning to paper and prints. Handwritten captions and mounting adhesive are intact. Photos and prints lie flat with no tears or missing pieces.
Item: Two vintage black scrapbook pages removed from a larger album, each with mounted photographs and color art prints related to German and Austrian scenes.
Page 1 features three small black-and-white photographs of the town of Meisenheim, including views along a canal by stone houses, a historic gate tower, and buildings along the city wall and moat.
Below the photos on Page 1 is a color art reproduction print labeled "Carl Spitzweg" with the title "Institutsspaziergang," showing a group walking along a country path near a town.
Handwritten white captions on Page 1 include: "Meisenheim, an der Stadtmauer u. Graben."
Page 2 features one black-and-white photograph of a castle or fortification on a rocky hill, identified in handwriting as part of Alzey, along with extensive historical notes.
Additional handwritten notes on Page 2 mention: "Alzey," references to a Celtic name, later German settlement, Volker von Alzey and the Nibelungenlied, "Vicus Altiala (röm.)," and other historical information.
Page 2 also holds two color art reproduction prints: a pastoral shepherd scene with children and sheep in a countryside landscape, and an architectural view titled in handwriting "Hof der Hofburg in Innsbruck v. F. Dürer," depicting the courtyard of the Hofburg in Innsbruck.
A separate note in one photo states, "This is a page from a vintage scrapbook," confirming these are original assembled pages rather than loose modern prints.
Materials: black album paper pages with mounted photographic prints and printed art reproductions; handwritten captions appear to be in white pencil or ink.
These pages are suitable for collectors of German town photography, historical ephemera, or for framing individual photos and prints.
