The black-and-white photos were actually collector cards published by a cigarette company, Cigaretten Bilderdienst Altona-Bahrenfeld. They came free with the purchase of cigarettes, and were then glued into the book. These collectible images were popular at the time, but usually showed animals or plants. Hitler used them to promote a political message.
