The Wall (Die Mauer) Postcard Book by Armin Lindauer 1998 - Rare Vintage

Rare vintage The Wall (Die Mauer) Postcard Book by Armin Lindauer 1998 

Vintage and the original 33 panel accordion fold postcard sized “book” of the Berlin Wall photographed by Armin Lindauer. The photographer captured graffiti art found on the Berlin Wall taken between 1984 and 1987.

This rare version was originally published by the Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie (Mauer Museum Wall) Berlin, Germany in 1998. A sticker from the museum is located on the outside cover. It includes an introduction with a short description of the project. The text is in German, French and English.

The “book” is actually 33 postcards glued together to make one very long document that measures 198” or 16.5 feet! Printed on heavy card stock, the cover and exterior photograph side is in very good condition. Only a minor mark on front spine possibly caused by glue residue. The (non-photo) text interior side is all in very good condition — but postcard paper is typically not the highest quality. Some slight paper discoloration and minor age spots are noticeable and considered normal for a vintage piece.

Photos are of the actual book being offered. I will take additional photos if requested, please contact me.

From Armin Landauer’s site: 

Book is titled “Around Berlin” – “The wall around West Berlin was about 156 km long and existed from August 1961 to November 1989. It separated the half of the city from the GDR and East Berlin. Except for a few remnants, it has disappeared today, as did the state that built it. The Leporello documents the frontal view from the west. The photographs were taken in the mid-80s, coinciding with the increasing painting of the wall.”
