Schutblad fotoalbum Kriegsmarine 1941 - 1945

This cover of a Kriegsmarine photo album, made by Reinhold Mohr, presents a muted aesthetic through its subdued color palette and straightforward design. The work uses a limited range of tones, predominantly browns and greys, which evoke a sense of solemnity. The composition is sparse, featuring centered, stylized white lettering against the grey backdrop. The artist’s name and the album’s designation as “Nr. 1” are clearly marked. There is also a rectangle with the inscription N. 183/41. The texture appears smooth, yet the edges and corners show wear, hinting at the album's age and history. Mohr's approach to the album cover design reflects a functional aesthetic common in military contexts, where clarity and order are valued. The lettering is decorative. The cover functions less as an artistic expression and more as a structured method of organizing visual materials. It invites reflection on how personal narratives are framed within larger historical and institutional contexts.
