A striking trilingual pictorial volume celebrating the landscapes, architecture, and culture of the Württemberg region of Germany. Schönes Schwabenland (Beautiful Württemberg / Le Beau Wurtemberg) was published in Stuttgart by the Landesverkehrsverband Württemberg in 1952, offering a rich visual survey of post-war southern Germany through superb black-and-white photography. The book's 189 pages are filled with atmospheric images of Stuttgart, the Black Forest, Hohenlohe, the Swabian Jura, Allgäu, Lake Constance, and surrounding areas, with detailed bilingual captions in German, English, and French.
Produced to promote the beauty of Württemberg to both local and international audiences, this third edition (1952) reflects the craftsmanship of Baden-Württembergische Verlagsanstalt Babenkofer & Co., Bad Cannstatt.
