The album was probably issued | The album was probably issued from 1903 onwards and contained an introduction, followed by 40 pages for 480 images. No date is mentioned anywhere in the album, but the cards bear the number DRGM 209633 (Deutsche Reichs-Gebrauchsmuster), a German copyright/trademark number, issued to Sigmund Loewenthal on July 30, 1903 (see images below). | ||

The trademark text reads : Karte aus Papier, Pappe odgl. mit perforierten, mit Wappen beklebten oder bedruckten Feldern, um welche herum Reklamen odgl, angeordnet sind. S. Loewenthal, Hamburg, A-B-Cstr. 45, 30/7 03. (Cards made of paper or similar, with perforated fields, printed or glued with coats of arms, around which advertising is placed. Simon Loewenthal, ABC-street 45, June 30, 1903). | |||
The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well). These companies issued advertising cards, with two images, that could be cut out and placed in the album. Probably due to WWI the series were not completed, as, according to the cards, one card was issued weekly. With 480 cards that would mean 240 weeks, or finishing by the end of 1916 or early 1917, which probably means that they were not all issued. | The images could be collected from a large number of small companies in Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire and Holland (and maybe other countries as well).
