This is a beautifully printed and bound 10 x 12 inch 88 page, heavily illustrated, limited edition hardcover Nazi book called Die Stadt der Reichsparteitage - Nürnberg des deutschen Reiches Schatzkästlein, printed on very high quality art paper. According to information on the third page, it is a facsimile of the original book presented to Adolf Hitler, Führer and Chancellor of Germany, on the occasion of his 50th birthday by the Oberbürgermeister of the city of the Reichs Party Days (Reichsparteitage), Nürnberg.
Hitler’s 50th birthday occurred on 20 April 1939 and the mayor of Nürnberg presented him with the original of this book. This cased example was also printed to be presented but never was. There is no presentation name on page 2. The book is in like-new condition and was probably part of an inventory of the city of Nuremberg to be used during the Reichsparteitag was scheduled for late summer 1939 in Nürnberg, but events in Poland caused it to be canceled before it began.
The purpose of the book was to provide the Oberbürgermeister with an opportunity to explain what a Schatzkastlein (Little Treasure Chest) the city of Nürnberg had been for seven centuries, and what some very famous people had to say about it. Quotations from many notables decorate each page embellished by the superb artwork of Conrad Scherzer. The earliest quotation is one from German Kaiser Friedrich II on the date of 8 November 1219. There are also quotations from Walther von der Vogelweide, Tanhäuser, Martin Luther, Konrad Celtis, Hans Sachs, Goethe, Ludwig I of Bavaria, Friedrich Hebbel, Richard Wagner, and a considerable number from Adolf Hitler, as late as 1938.
The entire contents is beautifully printed in inks of black and rust color on very heavy special paper. The hardcover book is linen bound. Excellent condition in its original rarely seen presentation case.
