The Hannoversche Kunstverlag Heinrich Carle was a publisher for the national distribution of postcards in the 20th century . The company was temporarily located at Nikolaistraße 14 in Hanover .

Sales program

Heinrich Carle was already selling field postcards with pictures of the effects of the war during the First World War . These consecutively numbered postcards had to be " approved by the military " beforehand. For example, war postcard number 6 from the publisher shows a propagandistically titled view of the - bombed - "Church in Langemark / shot down by the English and the French". The map dates from November 1915 at the latest. In addition to such views of the western front , for example, map number 203 shows a view of the eastern front under the title "Russian Provision Office on the Narev near Modlin ".

For the more civilian aerial photographs made from the aircraft of the Deutsche Luft-Reederei (DLR) until the beginning of the 1920s , Heinrich Carle acquired the right for the "sole wholesale distribution" of the postcards produced in this way and reproduced using the copper gravure printing process for the regions around Hanover, Hildesheim and the Steinhuder Meer .

In addition, until at least the mid-1930s, the company sold partially unnumbered postcards with motifs from the city of Hanover, for example from Café Kröpcke and Georgstraße or Maschsee .

Further research needs

  • Just like the field postcards sold by Belgian publishers at the time of the First World War or those from German publishers such as “[...] Dr. Trenkler & Co. , C. Hünich / Berlin-Charlottenburg, Friedrich Stünkel / Elberfeld, [...] field bookstore of the 4th Army " and others such as the Hanoverian art publisher Heinrich Carle is" [...] a detailed study of such publishers " and their "[...] scientific significance" with regard to the history of the First World War, despite the text Between Home and Front published by C. Brocks in 2009 "[...] not researched in detail".
