[Vienna] [Opera & Theatre]. Wiener Bühnenkünstler - Catalogue of Theatrical Postcards.
An interesting early-20th-century catalogue of theatrical postcards published by the Viennese company Postkartenverlag Brüder Kohn. The catalog contains thumbnail images of 720 available postcards, depicting actors, singers, and other performers of the era. 36 pp. Softcover; loose leaves hole punched and bound with cord, with remnants of a cloth spine present. Internal edge of each page reinforced with archival tape. Overall toning with some areas of soiling and wear, especially to the covers. Overall in very good condition. 6.25 x 9.5 inches (16 x 24 cm). Rare. OCLC records only 1 copy worldwide and we have found no record of any others at auction or within the trade.

The Postkartenverlag Brüder Kohn was founded in 1898 by the brothers Salomon, Adolf, and Alfred Kohn and operated until World War II, when Salomon Kohn was killed in Auschwitz. His son Walter was saved by a Kindertransport to England, and later became a Nobel-prize-winning chemist.
