another "fotorat" booklet from the series introduced in our previous story, ...
... again authored by bauhaus photo pioneer walter peterhans (1897-1960).
this 1937 booklet is about the right way to make copy prints".
photo examples include snowy landscapes ...
... and a portrait of a woman with a rather "modernist" short haircut – not exactly the nazi's ideal of girl with long plaited pigtails.
also the other advertised books are in a modernist graphic design – no trace of the blackletter typography of the nazi zeitgeist.
