Making of a Car Industrial Company Book 1930 Adlerwerke w49 Paul Wolff

Rare Company Book

On occasion of the 50th anniversary of automobile manufacturer Adlerwerke the company published So Entsteht ein Auto.

This title is likely the first industrial company book made by photographer Paul Wolff (1887-1951), who studied medicine and was a pioneer in 35 mm color photography and the use of the Leica camera.

This paperback edition showcased Adlerwerke’s car production in a striking Art Deco design. Most of the illustrations are photomontages. The text is printed in brown on beige paper, which contrasts effectively with the cold deep black of the images.

The book is divided in six chapters and depicts historical, contemporary and future production techniques.
