"Gutenberg-Album" is a 1872 album featuring photographs by B. Erdmann, likely depicting the life and works of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. The title page, which is what the image shows, indicates a second expanded edition published by J. Diemer in Mainz. The title and the inclusion of Johannes Gutenberg suggest a historical or biographical focus, making this album a valuable artifact for understanding 19th-century German photography and the legacy of Gutenberg.
