Reinicke & Rubin

Reinicke & Rubin in Magdeburg was a supraregional publishing house that sold tens of thousands of consecutively numbered postcards around 1900 using various printing techniques . During the First World War, the publishing house, which had moved to Dresden by 1911 at the latest, stopped its work. The successor was the postcard publisher H. Rubin & Co., Dresden-Blasewitz (later Dresden-Loschwitz), which also continued the numbering of the postcards issued and existed until 1933 at the latest.

history

"Artist postcards after nature recordings , old Hanover No. 127 ”, lithograph signed
by“ MR ”

The publishing house acquired the rights to reproduce works by various artists at the end of the 19th century. For example, a lithographed postcard from the series “Old Hanover ” with the current “No. 127 ”and the artist's signature“ MR ”, which was sent from Hanover at the beginning of 1900. However, the imprint “ Artist postcards based on original recordings ” leaves open whether the work of art was created directly in front of the respective original location or whether it was artistically processed by means of a photographic print elsewhere, for example directly at the company's headquarters.

The publisher bought works around 1900. By photographers such as the Dresden-based "Alexander Matthaey KS Hofphotograph ". For example, the Bitterfeld District Museum has a paper print on cardboard of an original by the photographer, which has drawings on the right and left of the cardboard edge that go with the original photo. The photograph taken around 1900 then served as a template for a postcard published by the publisher in 1907.

In addition, Europeana , which has so far been provided with digitized material by libraries in Poland in particular , has colored views and black and white versions.
