Today sees the publication of the 16-page Haensel Echo No. 5 for spring and summer 1929, which was also not yet public on the former website.

As of now, the issue of the illustrated German fashion magazine Modenschau No. 172 from April 1927 is also completely online. To the previously uploaded only five pages, the remaining 55 pages have been added. All articles as well as advertising and fashion from the issue are now accessible to you.

Just in time for Easter, today we are updating with 170 new pages from the mail order catalog of National Bellas Hess Inc. for spring and summer 1928.

As a result, well over 2,800 pages from 38 catalogs and 29 magazines are now online!
