Item description from seller

Oblong quarto (14.5" x 10.5"). A collection of 101 color luggage labels mounted in an elaborate album. Bound in olive-green crushed morocco over boards, with elaborate gilt tooling and turn-ins, a floral design stamped in gold on the front board, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. The labels are mounted on the rectos of 38 thick cardboard leaves (there are a few additional unused blank leaves at the back). Rubbing and modest wear to the joints and edges, near fine. An impressive collection of 101 colorful labels: most are from hotels and resorts located throughout Germany, including one marking the 25th anniversary of the Hotel Reichshof (Hamburg) in 1935, and another printed for the Oberammergau Passion Play in 1950. Also included are labels from several hotels throughout Austria, Italy, and France, and about three or four labels from elsewhere, including one from Budapest. Most likely date from the 1930s and 40s, including two or three variant issues of the same design (in different sizes). All are neatly mounted in an especially handsome morocco album.…
