Geschichte Der Photographie in Bildern

"The History of Photography in Pictures"

Nettel Camerawerk G.m.b.H. Sontheim a. Neckar

Originally published by Nettel Camera Works, Sontheim, and The New Photographic Society, AG, Berlin, Germany in the second decade of the 20^th Century.

A publishers note:

This is a reproduction of a set of 24 display cards with historical information which was published sometime after 1910 and before Nettel and Contessa merged. As many know, Nettel and other fine photographic companies in Germany eventually merged to form Zeiss-Ikon, which for many years was the foremost photographic works in Germany and was only rivaled by Eastman Kodak Co. of Rochester, New York.

In many ways Nettel and all the Zeiss companies had an edge over Kodak, if not in sales, in the quality and innovative prolific genesis of unique products.

In these display cards the reader will marvel at the tribute paid to George Eastman.

They were rediscovered in 1989, in Binghamton, New York. In fact they were purchased in a junk shop on Clinton Street, just a few short blocks from the ANSCO(AGFA) factories, which may have owned them at one time.

Note that the images that are behind each thumbnail will take time to load.
