Deutsche Burgen und feste Schlösser – Die Blauen Bücher, Langewiesche, 1920s

Deutsche Burgen und feste Schlösser – Die Blauen Bücher

Langewiesche’s “Blue Books” were the coffee-table books of their day, and this castle volume is one of the best loved. Page after page of crisp black-and-white photographs show German castles, moated palaces and fortified monasteries, introduced by art historian Wilhelm Pinder. The Fraktur type and old publisher’s ads at the back add to the interwar charm.
