history

The company's history has so far been little researched. The founder and owner of the company was the businessman Alwin Keil, who also made numerous photographs for distribution as postcards. His publishing house first appeared around 1910. The art publisher named after him initially had its headquarters in Dresden-Altstadt here on Rechtsstrasse 23 and later moved to Serrestrasse 9. After the end of the Second World War, the publishing house came to a standstill.

The picture postcards issued by the publisher mainly show motifs from Dresden and the surrounding area as well as Saxon Switzerland and the Eastern Ore Mountains.
