The album was issued in 1912 and contained an introduction, followed by 40 pages for 480 images. According to the Köberich cataloge only 330 were actually issued (but I am aware of 397 so far).  


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.
