8 pages of glued clippings and and clippings not glued inside the book.
Up for sale is a genuinely fascinating piece of early 20th-century European history. This is a pocket-sized, handmade personal recipe scrapbook/journal dedicated entirely to German soups (\"Suppen\"). The owner beautifully customized a textured tan pocket journal with a black cloth spine, neatly hand-writing the title page and pasting in beautifully preserved recipe clippings printed in traditional German Fraktur (Gothic) typeface.
Historical Highlight (Breweriana Interest):
Pasted inside the book is a highly collectible vintage calendar scrap/shipping label advertising Pschorrbräu-Märzenbier (the historic Munich brewery that later became part of the iconic Hacker-Pschorr brand). Based on the calendar details—showing the feast day of Magnus and Zacharias (September 6th) falling on a Freitag (Friday) alongside autumn shipping notes—this clipping dates precisely to 1907 (with 1918 as a secondary timeline), firmly anchoring the age of this piece.
