Photographer unknown. Images of Zeppelin LZ 126 construction. 1922/23. 11 vintage ferrotyped gelatin silver prints. Various sizes between 21 x 25 cm and 17 x 23 cm. 3 with date in the negative in lower right corner, each with "Im Zeppelin über den Atlantic" film copyright stamp and annotated in ink/pencil on the verso.

This rare and historically significant group of photographs documents the construction of the airship LZ 126, later known as the USS Los Angeles. Produced as promotional material for the 1924 documentary film Im Zeppelin über den Atlantik, the images highlight key stages of the construction. The group also includes two rare interior views of the passenger cabin, offering a glimpse into the luxury and technical innovation of early transatlantic air travel. – Some photographs with discoloration, some oxidation mirroring in edges, a few small handling dents, corners slightly bumped, otherwise most in very good condition.
