UNIQUE PRESENTATION COPY OF A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1939 ARTFUL BOOK ON NÜRNBERG

Die Stadt der Reichsparteitage Nürnberg, des deutschen Reiches Schatzkästlein
THE ORIGINAL COPY WAS PRESENTED TO THE REICHSCHANCELLOR BY THE MAYOR
OF THE CITY OF THE REICH PARTY DAYS ON HIS 5Oth BIRTHDAY
This 10 x 12-1/4 inch, 90-page hardcover book is one of the finest examples of Third Reich literature. The book was published by order of the Mayor of Nürnberg and printed in 1939 in a strictly limited number of copies. The original of this great piece of art was presented to Hitler on occasion of his 50th birthday. The “regular” copies were usually presented to important people by the Chief Mayor (Oberbürgermeister) of Nürnberg. Published was also a presentation copy clad in pig skin that were given to high officials such as Heinrich Himmler and Franz Xaver Schwarz.
The heavily illustrated book contains quotations of celebrities from old and new Nuremberg such as Kaiser (Emperor) Friedrich II, Walther von der Vogelweide, Tanhäuser, Kaiser (Emperor) Karl IV, Papst (Pope) Pius II, Ulrich von Hutten, Philipp Melanchthon, Martin Luther, Hans Sachs, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Ludwig König von Bayern (King of Bavaria), Richard Wagner and others. While all of those who were important enough to make it into this book got one or two pages, Führer and Reichskanzler Adolf Hitler gets seven pages! Every single page contains great artwork and ornaments; we have rarely seen anything printed between 1933 and 1945 that was so beautifully made! This VERY special book will make an important addition to anyone’s collection of Third Reich and German history, and it will be a gemstone in anyone’s collection of Reich Party Day memorabilia. It comes in its original protective box with original protective parchment paper. Both kept the book in mint condition.
