Lot of 14 stereoscopic photos with binder - 1937 - Austria and Germany under the Nazi regime - Plaque - Glass

Set of 14 stereoscopic photos on glass 6 x 13 cm – Austria and Germany – June 1937 – Storage binder

Remarkable collection of 14 original stereoscopic photographs on glass in 6 x 13 cm format, precisely dated June 1937, preserved with their period binder and the original handwritten inventory card.

This documentary series offers an exceptional historical testimony on Austria and Germany on the eve of World War II.

The first part of the lot is devoted to Austria (June 1937) with views taken in Vienna and its surroundings:
- Vienna State Opera with street activity and period automobiles.
- The monument dedicated to Beethoven.
- The gardens and fountains of Schönbrunn Palace.
- Scenes of swimming and leisure along the Old Danube at Klosterneuburg near Vienna (bathers, shower facilities).

The second part traverses Germany during the summer of 1937:
- Bavaria with a natural waterfall and a traditional painted house in Oberammergau (site of the Mystery of the Passion).
- A major set made in Nuremberg, iconic city of the Third Reich. Here you can see the historic center, the famous Schöner Brunnen fountain (from afar and up close), the market square, the old castle (Kaiserburg) as well as rows of old houses along the Pegnitz river.
- In one of the views, a photographer with a tripod can be seen in front of the canal.

Important historical element:
- Two urban views taken in Germany in June 1937 show buildings and streets adorned with the Nazi regime’s swastika flag, faithfully reflecting the political and visual context of the era in Germany.
