Notes: Checklist incomplete. Blank-backed.
Only one, incomplete album has ever been seen. Cards only carry the name of the film star and a number on the front, otherwise they are blank backed, with no mention of the film title or even the company name. The blank backs often have a glue stripe, or the remains of paper, showing they were glued onto the product itself (similar to Neugebaur & Lohmann). Those without glue or paper were probably soaked. A distinguishing feature is the unusual numbering, with the series number written in Roman numerals (I, II, III or IV) and the individual card number in Arabic numerals (1-9), so for example IV/20. The album is very simple with 4 pages (8 sides), with space for 15 cards on each side, for a total of 120 cards. It is not clear whether all cards were issued, and a few cards have even been seen from a series V, which do not belong in the album: In fact the paper for series V is much thinner, and the cards have a beige tinge to them. Many of the pictures can be found from other companies, but with different numbering, such as Aurelia (Bilder-Album I), Mahalesi (Film-Star-Bilder) and Montana (all with album), as well as Diestelkamp, Klemm and Oehler (no album issued).
