Client photo presentation books of Wiliam Pahlmann Associates, 1935-1976 (bulk 1946-1968).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/654800120

The Client Photo Presentation Books are a series of twenty-four photo albums assembled to showcase the work of William Pahlmann and William Pahlmann Associates to prospective clients. Black and white photographs of Pahlmann's most notable jobs (many taken by professional photographers for William Pahlmann Associates, the clients, or for publication in periodicals such as Interiors Magazine or Architectural Digest) make up a majority of the items in the Client Photo Presentation Books. Additionally, ephemera such as advertising materials, menus, and product samples are pasted onto or inserted between some of the books' pages. The Client Photo Presentation Books supplement the materials in the Publicity Books Series (Series 8), the Publicity/Photo Files Series (Series 10), and the Publicity Series (Series 2). The Client Photo Presentation Books and Publicity/Photo Files provide a thorough visual documentation of Pahlmann's work whereas the Publicity Books give written descriptions of his many activities. The Publicity Series also documents Pahlmann's work and provides background information for items in the other three series. All four, considered together, build a comprehensive picture of Pahlmann's style, his clientele, and most importantly how he wanted himself depicted in the media and to potential clients.
