This remarkable album offers a rare glimpse into hunting culture in early 20th-century Germany.

Inside are original hunting photographs, many accompanied by handwritten poems, letters, and journal-style entries that give the album a deeply personal sense of place, memory, and tradition.

Equal parts visual archive and historical object, it is a compelling piece for collectors of antique photography, sporting history, German ephemera, or one-of-a-kind personal albums.

Many of the poems are quite beautiful and thoughtfully describe the joy of hunting. The poem in the first picture reads:

In the forest, the wild dove calls,

By the still pond, the hawthorn blooms!

Then the old magic of spring

Powerfully stirs my soul!

The album itself is in excellent condition. ~24 double sided pages.

Dimensions: ~14" x 10" x 1.5"
