Paul Wolff Bibliography 2009 continued (page 2) go back to Photographica Page

Bad Wildungen und die Edertalsperre, K. Braun Verlag, Eschwege,.  No date (ca. 1930 in one list).   Large octavo with 16 laid-in gravures by P. Wolff and 2 other copperplate illustrations.  This book is placed here, out of date, as it is clearly a product of Dr. Wolff's large format work and is in exactly the same format as Kassel und Wilhelmshöhe below.  Interestingly, one of the illustrations in the copy examined is a photographic print, not a gravure. 

Das Grüne Gewölbe in Dresden, Burdach, Dresden, (c. 1925 or perhaps 1929).  32 copper plates after photos mostly by 'Paul Wolff, Dresden', plus one color picture. Text by Eric Haenel is in both German and English.  The 'green vault' in question is the treasure chamber of the Elector of Saxony.  Pictured are individual sculptures, vessels, mirrors, jewelry and clocks from the medieval, renaissance and baroque periods.   One of the Brockhaus books. 

Jagdschloss Moritzburg. Mit 16 Kupfertiefdrucktafeln nach Aufnahmen von P. Wolff. Dresden, Verein Haus Wettin, Jena, ca. 1925.   Softbound octavo, text by Erwin Hensler. One of the Brockhaus books. 

Kassel und Wilhelmshöhe, Hessenland-Verlag, Kassel, No date (1925 or possibly 1928). 'Published with the cooperation of the City Tourist Office'.  18 tipped-in copper plates after photographs by Dr. Wolff.  Text by Dr. Wolff, and M. Weber of the Kassel Commerce and Economics Department.  Same format as Das Werratal, 1925, above.

Alt-Frankfurt, Dritte Folge, Verlag Englert & Schlosser, 1926.  Hardbound, with 44 halftone plates by Dr. Wolff, text by Fried Lübbecke.  The book is bound identically to the 1924 Neue Folge. 

†  Das schöne Frankfurt, Hauserpresse Werner u. Werner, Frankfurt, no date.  This is a packet of 6 postcards with views of the city.  It is marked Serie IV, perhaps implying other such views in other packets.

Der alte Friedhof in Sachsenhausen, mit seinen heimat- und kulturkundlichen

Wahrzeichen, Verlag Englert & Schlosser, Frankfurt, 1926.  Softbound octavo.  Text by Joseph Dillmann on some of the notable individuals buried in the old Sachsenhausen cemetery, with portraits of some of these individuals reproduced from engravings and old photographs, and with photos of gravestones and memorials by Dr. Paul Wolff.

Badestadt Berggiesshübel-Zwiesel, F. A. Brockhaus, Leipzig, 1927.  A small softbound illustrated book on a catastrophic flood which occurred the night of 8-9 July, 1927 in Berggiesshübel-Zwiesel.  Text by Rudolf Landgraf; 19 of the 31 'before and after' gravure photos are by 'Paul Wolff, Dresden-Zschachwitz'.  Same format and utilizing many of the pictures from Das Gottleubatal, 1923, above.  There is an amusingly grotesque woodcut of the flood on the front cover (complete with drowning naked woman) by Erich Wünche.

Der Dom zu Frankfurt am Main. Ein Führer durch seine Geschichte und seine Kunstwerke,Verlag Peter Kreuer Nachfolger, Frankfurt am Main, 1929.  Soft-sided octavo tourist guide to the Cathedral, 64 pages, with 16 brown halftone images after photos by Dr. Paul Wolff.  Text is by Josef Dillmann.  Only one of the images appears in the other Frankfurt books.

II.         The following soft-bound booklets, all but one without original publication information, were issued in multiple editions, some into the 1950's by Langewiesche Verlag under the 'Verlag der Eiserne Hammer' imprint.   The publisher died in late 1931 and it seems likely all books were begun before this; they therefore may or may not contain Leica photos.

Haushalten, Verlag der Eiserne Hammer, Leipzig.  No date, ? 1930.  (1931 edition in the example examined).   Softbound with dust jacket, 16 halftone photos by Paul Wolff, inspirational text on keeping a home by Clara Neundörfer. 'About animating household work and household life.'  Photos are of furniture and place settings, each done as a still life.  The effect of the photos is reminiscent of Edward and Mary Steichen's children's book The First Picture Book, Harcourt Brace, New York, 1930.

Was essen? Verlag der Eiserne Hammer, Leipzig, 1931.  (1941 edition in the example examined).  Softbound with dust jacket, 14 halftone photos of food, mostly of fruit, each again done as a still life by Paul Wolff, text by Dr. Heinz Bottenberg  'What to eat?  Health, vigor, tastiness and economy through new unbiased nutritional information.'

**  Wolken über Land und Meer, Naturaufnahmen, Verlag der Eiserne Hammer, Königstein & Leipzig, No date, ? 1932.  (1932 in the example examined).  47 halftone photographs of clouds over land- and seascapes, only 4 by Dr. Wolff.  This title was also republished after WWII by the same publisher in the Langewiesche-Bücherei series.   Another copy also examined has a 1957 date.  This book is one of perhaps hundreds of titles in which there are multiple photographers credited along with Dr. Wolff.  Most such titles are not included in this list.

Drei Kaiserdome: Mainz-Worms-Speyer, Verlag der Eiserne Hammer, Leipzig.  No date, ? 1933. (1933 edition in the example examined).   Softbound with dust jacket, 45 halftone photos of cathedrals by Paul Wolff, text by Wilhelm Pinder.

Kleine Grüne Welt, Verlag der Eiserne Hammer, Leipzig.   No date, ? 1933.  (1941 edition in the example examined).   Softbound with dust jacket, 15 halftone photos by Paul Wolff, text by Karl Gernek.  'A little book on caring for home gardens.'

III.       The following contain Leica photos, but the earlier volumes likely have as well non-Leica images; one book Gross- oder Kleinbild? is specifically addressed to comparing Leica images with larger format images.    Images are usually gravures or such fine screen halftones that they appear intaglio, but some titles contain only obvious halftone images.  Occasionally some of the books are accompanied by a booklet that appears to have served the purpose of an advertising prospectus for the main title.

Aus Zoologischen Gärten, Lichtbildstudien von Dr. Paul Wolff,  [Die Blauen Bücher], Karl Robert Langewiesche Verlag, Königstein, 1929.  Multiple editions into the 1950's.  Softbound octavo with dust jacket.  120 halftones at the zoo by Paul Wolff, forward by K. R. Langewiesche. Only a few of the photos were taken with a Leica.

Frankfurt am Main. Die Goethestadt - The city of Goethe, Verlag Hessenland, Stettin, ca. 1930.   A guidebook to Frankfurt edited by Werner Rades, many halftone photos by Paul Wolff of tourist highlights.  There are also photos of restaurants, shops and sport facilities, but these may be by other photographers.  Picture captions and extensive text in both German and English.

So entsteht ein Auto, Bücherei der Adlerwerke, Frankfurt, 1930.  Privately published.  Softbound.  Text by Paul G. Ehrhardt.   Almost folio size, this classic softbound volume is beautifully produced in an art deco design. Graphics are by Hans Breidenstein.   Many of the fine-screen halftone images are presented in photomontage.  The text is printed in brown on beige stock, which contrasts effectively with the cold black of the images.  This title is likely the first of Dr. Wolff's books produced for industrial clients. More are listed below.   Usually such books are hardbound, quarto size and contain pictures of the town in which the company is sited and of the workers at home or on holiday, as well as the expected photos of workers at their jobs. Many of the industrial titles were self-published by the companies involved and some still retain their laid-in prospectus or else dedication to another company or individual, indicating their public relations or celebratory nature.

**  Bremen.  Die Stadt und der Hafen,  F. A. Brockhaus, Leipzig, ca. 1930; also 1935, 1938.  60 gravure reproductions, only 7 by Dr. Wolff.  Text and captions in 4 languages.  'Compiled by the Bremen Travel Association'.

Der Zwinger in Dresden, Verlag H. Burdach, Dresden, ca. 1930.  Softbound small octavo with dust jacket.   20 halftones by Paul Wolff of the Zwinger Palace.

HOH - Fotos helfen verkaufen, published by H. Osterwald, Hannover, ca. 1930. †   A thin softbound quarto advertising brochure illustrating via 6 of Dr. Wolff's photos, two of Gorny, and one unidentified, what this firm could produce.  Images are deeply printed gravures, monochrome but in several different tones from image to image.  Dr. Wolff's subjects here are mostly those of still life (one from Was essen? above), but there is the well-known soft-focus image of a woman holding her little dog, and one of part of an Opel roadster. 

Lobeda und seine Burgen. Wander- und Erinnerungsbuch, Verlag Loddeburg-Gemeinde, Lobeda, ca.1930.   16 gravure images plus text by Paul Wolff.  One of the Brockhaus books. 

Königinnen der Meere:  S.S. Bremen- S.S. Europa,  Norddeutscher Lloyd advertising pamphlet, ca., 1930.  †  28-sided softbound square octavo with embossed cellophane dustjacket.  Many halftone illustrations after photos by Dr. Paul Wolff.   While this brochure is ephemera and not a book, it is rather physically substantial and the sort of object one might be likely to keep after a passage on one of the ships.  Dr. Wolff’s firm held the commercial account for images with Norddeutscher Lloyd, but many of these were travel posters and the like, and not that many have apparently survived.  Dr. Wolff mentions (elsewhere) that he successfully used a Leica for many of the large posters.

**  Die Odenwaldschule in Bildern, Friedrich Ernst Hübsch Verlag, Berlin (ca 1930).   †  A portion of the photos in this small softbound brochure were done "freundlicherweise" by Dr. Paul Wolff. Odenwaldschule is a childrens' boarding school outside of Frankfurt am Main, founded in 1910, which had/has a humanistic focus.

Alt-Frankfurt.  Ein Buch für seine Freunde in der Heimat und in der Fremde, Verlag Englert und Schlosser, Frankfurt, 1931.  Softbound octavo.  135 halftone photos by Dr. Wolff, text by Fried Lübbecke.  Large-format images from the earlier Frankfurt books by this publisher are recycled, along with newer Leica shots.

Formen des Lebens, Botanische Lichtbildstudien von Dr. Paul Wolff,  [Die Blauen Bücher], Karl Robert Langewiesche Verlag, Königstein, 1931.  Multiple editions into the 1950's.  Softbound octavo with dust jacket.  120 halftones, close-ups of plant life by Paul Wolff, forward by Martin Möbius.  In early 2002 the publisher issued a new printing of the first edition in duotone, together with new additional written material.  This new edition is annotated and contains as well varia from the several prior editions of this work.   Das Werk. Technisches Lichbildstudien, above, was also reissued at the same time.   

**  Menschen auf der Straße. Zweiundvierzig Variationen über ein einfaches Thema, Engelhorn, Stuttgart, 1931.   Hardbound small octavo.   Halftone photos by Dr. Wolff and others.  This book is a compilation of texts by German and non-German authors (Hermann Hesse, Romain Rolland, etc.) and photos from several sources.   While only seven out of 32 pictures are by Dr. Wolff, this book is included as it is listed in other Wolff bibliographies and because his photos here are notable for their art-photographic feeling--there is a hint of the styles of Atget, Brassai, and even Cartier-Bresson.   Perhaps Weimar Republic period aesthetics plus the exciting new possibilities of Leica photography contributed, for it is unlikely Dr. Wolff knew of Atget and the others' work was chronologically later.   This is apparently a highly-sought book, likely appealing to literary as well as photographic collectors.

Schade und Füllgrabe, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf: Eckhardt & Pesch, 1931.  An industrial title on a delicatessen store chain documenting the company’s innovative business methods (likely on its 50^th anniversary), which, because of Jewish ownership, was later a target of Nazi persecution.  The Nazi’s allowed the Jewish owners to sell, but interestingly did not change the name as well.   The firm’s rightful owner was allowed to travel to the U.S., and died in 1939.  The company’s buildings were then heavily bombed on October 4, 1943.    There was a chain of supermarkets in Frankfurt with this name until the last 15 years, more recently merged and absorbed into another firm.   Propaganda and supression may also explain why an example of this 1931 title has yet to be located for this bibliography.   §

Das schöne Frankfurt, Klimschs Druckerei, J.Maubach & Co. Frankfurt, perhaps 1931. †   12 postcards, halftone views of Franfurt, 11 of 12 marked "Dr.P.Wolff Phot. (one arial view marked " Hansa Luftbild phot".  The cards are in a small portfolio stamped with the city's coat of arms.  Dr. Wolff's images are familiar from his Frankfurt books.

**  Das Werk. Technisches Lichbildstudien. [Die Blauen Bücher], Karl Robert Langewiesche Verlag, Königstein, 1931.  71 halftone illustrations of bridges, ships, airships and airports, laborers in factories, etc., 11 by Dr. Wolff.   Forward by Dr. Eugene Diesel, son of the inventor. This softbound volume could be viewed as the precursor of Arbeit! (1937, below).

Frankfurt am Main, Verlag Rudolph Mosse, Berlin,  1932. †   Softbound small square slim octavo tourist guide with text in both German and English, edited by Werner Rades.  There are many sepia gravures after photographs by Paul Wolff of Frankfurt and its surroundings.  The images are especially wide-ranging in their content: commercial, industrial, artistic and sport as well as depicting the famous historical sites.  The breadth of approach here may be indicative not only of the booklet's use as a tourist guide, but also due to its historical timing just prior to the ascent of Nazis with their propagandistic narrowing of focus.  Published for the Goethe-Jahre 1932 and including also pictures of sites in Switzerland and Italy related to Goethe's travels.    

Frankfurt am Main, Velhagen und Klasing, Bielefeld & Leipzig, 1932, 1937.  Hardbound with dust jacket.   At least 2 editions.  64 halftone photos by Dr. Wolff with text by Fried Lübbecke.  This book and the two shortly following published by Velhagen und Klasing are part of a series of travel books by this publisher, but apparently the only three with Dr. Wolff as the sole photographer.

Goethes Geburtshaus, Deutsche Volksspende für Goethes Geburtsstätte, Frankfurt, 1932. Hardbound.  Text by Wilhelm Schäfer, 15 halftone photos by Dr. Wolff of the Frankfurt house in which Goethe was born.

**  Moselfahrt aus Liebeskummer, Rütten & Loening Verlag, Frankfurt, 1932.  This "short story in a landscape" is by the Swiss author Rudolf G. Binding, known for his WWI war journal. A slim octavo with a supple binding, the book is illustrated with 9 gravure images, 3 by Dr. Wolff and 5 by Albert Renger-Patzsch.   A 1952 edition § published by Hans Dulk, Hamburg has 20 images; these additions are by other photographers.

Schlösser und Gärten am Main, Velhagen & Klasing, Bielefeld & Leipzig 1932, 1935, text by Elisabeth Dauthendey.  64 halftones of castle interiors, exteriors and gardens by Dr. Wolff.

Stille Winkel in Franken, Velhagen & Klasing, Bielefeld & Leipzig, 1932, 1936.  At least 3 editions.  64 halftones of towns in Franconia by Dr. Wolff,  text by Leo Weismantel.

Die Apotheke am Neckar. Erzählung, Gustav Kiepenheuer Verlag, Berlin, 1933.   "A tale by Anton Ditschler", illustrated with halftone photos of the Neckar valley and towns, 9 out of 12 by Paul Wolff.  The book is a small hardbound octavo with dust jacket.

Im Spiegel des Rheins. Westdeutsche Fahrten,Frankfurter Societäts Druckerei, Frankfurt, 1933. 

Small hardbound octavo, a travel book by Kasimir Edschmid with 16 gravures, 10 by Dr. Paul Wolff.

Leipzig: Die wunderschöne Stadt, Verlag J. C. Hinrichs'sche Buchhandlung, Leipzig, ? 1933 (also ca. 1938, 1941).  Small octavo.  There are 2 distinct yet non-dated versions of this title: a hardbound one with 32 gravures after Dr. Wolff's photos and a long text by Dr. Wolff, and a softbound one with dustjacket, 48 gravures and a shorter text.  It seems possible that the hardbound version with 32 gravures represents the original 1933 publication, and the softbound longer volume one or both of the later editions.  Interestingly there are photos in the 32-gravure book which do not appear in the larger edition.   One examined copy of the 48-gravure, softbound edition has a printed introduction by explorer-scientist, geographer and writer Sven Hedin, dated 7 December, 1940.  Of interest to Leica affectionados is that Hedin had previously been awarded Leica Nr. 25,000 for his explots and accomplishments. 

Zur Erinnerung an den Fabrikbesuch bei der Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG (Shell), Ca. 1933. †  Pictures of 7 German Shell refineries. 14 Postcards after photos by Paul Wolff in an accordion-like packet.

60 Jahre Riekerschuhe, Tuttlingen in Schwarzwald, 1934.  †  A fancy gold, red, and monochrome (images) pamphlet for the anniversary of a manufacturer of footwear: shoes and boots.  

Badische Schlösser und Burgen zwischen Neckar und Schwarzwald, C. Schmitt, Heidelberg, 1934.  †  Published by the Landesverkehrsverband Baden.  Almost folio-sized soft-bound quarto with text by Otto Ernst Sutter in 4 languages, with 6 mounted color pictures after watercolors by Wilhelm Nagel (1) and Franz Huth (5), as well as 12 heliogravures after photos by Paul Wolff (6), Max Herzberg, and others.  This is a deluxe production, probably aimed at the toutist market.   

Ins land der Franken fahren, eine Mainreise,Verlag von Velhagen & Klasing, Bielefeld & Leipzig, 1934, 1938, and 1941.  Hardbound with text by Fried Lübbecke.  152 halftones of towns on the Main River by Dr. Wolff.

Meine Erfahrungen mit der LeicaLeitz, July 1933. †   This is not Dr. Wolff's famous book (which is next in this list), but rather a 32 page catalogue from the E. Leitz exhibition of large images from Leica negatives with the same name. This title is a softbound octavo with 10 images (including the cover image). The images are halftones but so fine they appear to be gravures.  Three of these images do not appear in the later book, and similarly, while 207 images are listed as being in the exhibition, by no means do they comnpletely overlap the 203 photos which were chosen for the hard-cover edition below.  Dr. Wolff says there explictly that 100 of the images were replaced with those by Tritschler and by Dr. Wolff's students, to show that any serious photographer could accomplish similar results.  There were at least two variants of this catalogue with differing type fonts.  (Leica historian Joseph K. Brown kindly sent in a partial xerox of the other one of these.)   There is also an identical English version † dated November, 1934, called Practical Leica Photography: since this exists, versions in other languages possibly do also (various books by Dr. Wolff through the years have been documented in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, and Swedish).  Of considerable interest is another very similar (same size, number of pages, general layout) catalogue in French, entitled Exposition de Photos 1935, prises avec he Leica de Leitz par M. Le Dr. P. Wolff et M. Person.  † This is the catalogue of yet another exhibition of photos, with some overlap to the above, but with different Dr. Wolff images plus images by Alfred Person (whose book Bildmässige Leica-Photos durch Tontrennung, well known to Leica historians, also came out in 1935).  According to Pierre Jeandrain who supplied this item, the exhibition in question was organized from 1 to 10 March, 1935 at the Porte de Versailles, Paris, within the general "Photography Salon", and the French translation of Meine Erfahrungen (Douze Années de Pratique du Leica, see below) was also launched on the same occasion.  Of the 8 images within the exhibition catalogue itself, only one overlaps with the earlier cataloges.

Meine Erfahrungen mit der Leica. Ein historischer Querschnitt aus fast 10 Jahren Leica-Photographie, H. Bechold Verlagsbuchhandlung (Inhaber Breidenstein), Frankfurt,  1934. Several editions. Hard cover quarto with dust jacket.  203 photos plus text by Dr. Wolff.  The images are halftones but so fine they appear to be gravures.  An English translation (by H. W. Zieler) followed:  My First Ten Years with the Leica.  A historical survey over almost ten years of Leica photography, B. Westermann Co., Inc., New York but printed in Germany.  No date.  (1935).   A French edition (again printed in Germany): Douze Années de Pratique du Leica: Résumé Historique, Tiranty, Paris,no date, refers to 12 years rather than 10!  Text translated by G. Joly. According to Pierre Jeandrain, the French title was published in 1936, as the arithmetic would indicate. This title in whatever language is Dr. Wolff's seminal work on Leica photography and technique.

Opel im Sport 1934, Hauser-Presse, Frankfurt, 1934.  Large square octavo with 61 of 93  gravures by Dr. Paul Wolff, text by Dr. Carl T. Wiskott.  This title appears to be a limited edition that Opel published as a Christmas gift.  Its photography of auto races and rallies is as fine as Dr. Wolff's work 2 years later on the Olympic games and is in much the same spirit.   It is unfortunate that this book is quite rare.  Dr. Wolff photographed for Adam Opel, AG for many years.  See his further Opel titles below, dated 1936, 1939, 1940, and 1989.

C. H. Boehringer Sohn AG 1885-1935, Inhaber Breidenstein, Frankfurt, 1935. Privately published.  77 gravure photos by Dr. Wolff.   Boehringer is a chemical/pharmaceutical concern.

50 Jahre Wertarbeit, Ernst Kratz, Nadelfabrik, Frankfurt, 1935.   A self-published Festschfift with text by Paul G. Ehrhardt.  This is a thin, softbound quarto but a deluxe presentation.  Dr. Wolff's many gravure images detail the production of curved (surgical) and hypodermic needles in detail.  There are many closeups, as well as the workers at their machines. A classic.

Helfer am Sozialwerk der Deutschen Wirtschaf,. Hannover, 1935, published by Continental Gummi-Werke AG, Hannover.  Square large octavo, hardbound, with gravure images after Dr. Wolff & Tritschler, and several others.  Most of the images are indeed those of Wolff and Tritschler, as they appear very similar to those in other books: workers at work and at play, all with a National Socialist propaganda flavor.

100 Jahre Schwarzwälder Präzisionarbeit, SABA, Villingen,  Hauserpresse, Frankfurt, 1935.  Self published Festschrift, a slim softbound quarto celebrating both 100 years of the firm and 30 years service of its head works-manager. SABA [Schwarzwälder Apparate-Bau-Anstalt] was originally a clock manufacturer, but the Festschrift here is concerned with its superheterodyne radio receiver production.  Text by Otto Ernst Sutter; many gravure photos, all but a handful by Dr. Wolff.

Novelle der Heimat. Von rheinischer Landschaft und ihren Menschen, Zaberndruck, Mainz, 1935. A slim octavo whose author is Dr.Wilhelm Ruthe; there are 12 halftone images, part by the author and part by Dr. Paul Wolff, but they are not specifically identified.

Vom Werden der Wanderer Werke 1885-1935, VDI-Verlag, Berlin, 1935.  Privately published.  Text by Conrad Matschoss, halftone photo portfolio by Dr. Wolff.  In 1935, Wanderer Werke made bicycles, motorbikes, milling machines, typewriters, adding and calculating machines!

** Zwei Jahre Arbeit an der Reichsautobahn, Volk und Reich Verlag, Berlin 1935.   A Festschrift on the opening of the first sections of roadway.   Approximately 150 press photos (predominantly 24 x 18 cm), and many maps also.   The images depict the construction from the early extensive earth movement with excavators, to the finished, completed roadway including government support and monitoring functions, as well as scenes from the workers camps.  Dr. Paul Wolff, among others, "participated in the photography."   Only a handful of the many images are by Dr. Wolff, unfortunately, but included is his one well-known Autobahn image of a curve on the lightly-travelled highway, viewed from above.  This very rare volume was proscribed after the war in the Russian Zone as Nazi propaganda.

Das ist Idar-Oberstein. 2000 Jahre Edelsteinkultur, Solm & Co, Wiking-Verlag, Berlin, ca. 1935. †  Softbound quarto, 16 sides with 6 photographs in gravure by Dr. Paul Wolff, Frankfurt, and 6 from Archiv Idar-Oberstein.  The cities of Idar and Oberstein, near Trier, are the age-old center of the German gem indusry.  This is an informational brochure on the area, with images of gem production.

Schimmel & Co. AG, Miltitz (bei Leipzig), ca.1935.  Illustrated hardbound advertising booklet for a company which made chemical essences for liqueurs, cosmetics, etc.  Gravures by Wolff & Tritschler, and others.  Captions for the photos in 6 languages.

Am Laufenden Band, Verlag Hauserpresse, Frankfurt, 1936.  Large square octavo.  Text by Heinrich Hauser.  Many gravure photos by Wolff and Tritschler of Opel automobile manufacture.

** Die Deutsche Alpenstraße, Volk und Reich, Berlin, 1936.  A tourist guide to alpine Germany. Only 4 halftone photos by Dr. Wolff (out of 195 total).

Deutschland. Olympia-Jahr 1936, Volk und Reich Verlag, Berlin, 1936.  Nazi propaganda to promote the 1936 Olympics.  About 1/2 of the halftone photographs are by Dr. Wolff; these are mostly depictions of German towns, countryside and factory workers with only an occasional swastika in sight.  The remainder of the images are old press photos of the destruction from WWI and communist rioting, and then propaganda photos by several photographers of Nazi rallies, happy Volk, the autobahn, and the Olympic stadium.  Also published, same publisher and date, in French as Allemagne, l'Anne Olympique 1936, this edition with fewer and occasionally different photographs, and in Spanish as Alemania, Ano Olimpico 1936, in English as The Olympic Year 1936, and in Italian as Germania Anno Olympico 1936,with images which are identical to each other and similar to the French version. There is a Portugese version as well, AlemanhaAno Olimpico 1936.   It is possible that editions in yet other languages exist.

Fünfundzwanzig Jahre der Herstellung von Aluminiumfolien, Teningen, 1936.  Privately published slim octavo covered in aluminum foil.  A title on the Tscheulin aluminum firm, gravure photos by Dr. P. Wolff & Tritschler.

Gegenlauf-Dampfturbinen Bauart Ljungström, Nürnberg, 1936, or possibly 1930.  A paperback quarto on M.A.N., AG (Maschinenfabrik Augsberg-Nürnberg), an engine and steam turbine manufacturer, very important later in Germany's war effort for work on the Panther tank, and currently still a major German industrial player.   It was at their Nürnberg shop in 1897 that Rudolf Diesel perfected the engine that bears his name.  This title is about one of their steam turbines: the Ljungström-type steam turbine is a system of concentric radial twin turbines and was state of the art at the time.   Dr. Wolff contributed a large (and somewhat crude because early) color image of workers making a turbine wheel for the frontispiece of this book.  (The book is dated to 1936 because this is when such color images were produced.)  The numerous other images in the book are clearly from the company files, as they almost all have on them the company logo and a reference number.  The website of the Chamber of Commerece of Swabia, in a compilation of various manufactures’ festschriften through the years, lists many other such books from M.A.N., but no others have been mentioned anywhere as having Dr. Wolff’s images.
