Photographic Memory

Ever since there is photography people are compiling albums. The Library of Congress - the largest library in the world - is obsessed with the preservation of those albums. They even published a book on the matter. The book gives us insight in many variations of album, ranging from notebooks and family albums to documents and presentations. The album are thoroughly studied and described in detail. This leads to odd texts like the one about the presentation album for the Hitler Jugend. “The carefully chosen subjects, their bold photographic presentation, and the clean graphic design make Der Marsch zur Disziplin a prime example of the use of an album for official presentation.” Gut gemacht!
