The big 11 x 14 inch, very heavily illustrated art magazine Die Kunst im dritten Reich (The Arts in the Third Reich) and Die Kunst im deutschen Reich (The Arts in the German Reich) was first published in January 1937 by Gauleiter Adolf Wagner. After the first six monthly issues the format was changed and it was published at the direction of Adolf Hitler himself, under the supervision of an extremely prestigious group of directors that included Professor Dr. Ing. Fritz Todt, Generalbauinspektor Professor Albert Speer of Berlin, Professor Richard Klein of the Academy of Applied Arts in München (Munich) and Professor Leonhard Gall of Studio Troost in München.

The magazine was large in size, huge is scope and right to the end it was published by Zentralverlag der NSDAP, Franz Eher Nachfolger (the Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party) on fine quality paper using the best available inks. Huge full-page, full-color and black & white photographs dominated the format of Die Kunst. Many of the pictures were never published elsewhere and none were published in a larger format.

Each issue ends with a monthly Kunstausstellungkalender or Calendar for Art Exhibitions in Greater Germany. The last issue bound in this book is for November 1941 (Folge 11), which is an Ausgabe B meaning it also contains the Die Baukunst section with architectural plans for modern cities with 20,000 inhabitants, and plans for the government quarter in Zichenau and Ostenburg (north of Krakau) in the German East.

Naturally, the fact that these issues were professionally bound when they were new has done much to preserve them over the following 77+ years. The book and pages are all in very good condition. No articles or photos were cut out, no odor.
