Art in the German Reich. Volume 3, Issue 7 July 1939-Launched in January 1937, the magazine was published monthly and had the particularity of having two variants. Ausgabe A contained only articles and photographs pertaining to fine arts, while Ausgabe B included the fine arts section of Ausgabe A to which was added an architectural section (Baukunst). This scarce copy contains both parts and has its architectural section entirely dedicated to the most iconic building of the TR: the new Reichskanzlei (Reich Chancellery). Inaugurated in January 1939, Albert Speer's masterpiece was the embodiment of the power of the regime and Hitler's megalomaniac vision of a new architectural center for the capital of wartime Germany. The 37 striking b/w and color photographic reproductions of both interior and exterior views depict a building designed to impress and be the seat of a new German Empire. This book measures 14 inches (35.56cm) tall and 11 inches (27.94cm) wide. It is a large magazine. The softcover book has some discoloration to the lower front cover, but otherwise it is in good condition.
