| DESCRIPTION: This is truly rare in that it is a beautiful leather-bound Mappe, (folder or portfolio) presented to the founder of the Lebensborn, the system of the women's lying in hospitals know as the Lebensborn E.V. This was a pet project of the Reichsführer-, and the appreciative girls who put this together for presentation to him in 1939. The paper is the finest of parchment and the calligraphy-style printing is accomplished in script fracture. Each page seems to be expressions of admiration and grateful enthusiasm. The signatures are numbers given to the patients and temporary residents of these institutions such as Steinhöring, south of Munich (see our Lebensborn tapestry. This is a true historic treasure in beautiful condition. It contains only 10 letters or statements, but beautifully presented . The presentation page at the front is noted as received by Himmler who dates it in his typical handwriting in the ever-present green pencil. The covers are decorated in the corners with various runes of the SS organization both front and back. The album measures 9 X 12 and it is truly a historically important treasure and a fantastic remembrance of a wonderful social experimentation and institution.
