German Print Advertising 1933 - 1945
by Ray Cowdery & Josephine Cowdery
Product Description:
The only reference book of its type, this 176 page hardcover book is an amazing time capsule of the Third Reich / Nazi era in Germany.
Many of the most powerful graphic advertising images every put in print are those produced by artists of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich Reichskulturkammer "state chamber of culture". In Germany, during the 12 short years from 1933 - 1945, few of those images have been seen in almost 60 years because of the thoroughness of Allied de-Nazification programs following WWII.
Some say it is evil, some call it militarism in print, and others love it. Most people have difficulty being neutral on the subject of German print advertising of the 1933 - 1945 period. Regardless of their point of view, almost anyone who has objectively examined the advertising art produced in Nazi Germany has been stunned by the powerful graphics.
This book is about advertising. In it, authors Josephine & Ray Cowdery do not attempt to analyze, explain, justify, endorse, condemn or specifically depict any aspect of Third Reich Germany other than print advertising. The Cowderys simply provide a never-before-seen selection of advertising art of the Third Reich extracted from their irreplaceable private archive of ancient magazines and newspapers.
