Crowds gather before an elaborately painted exhibition hall in Nuremberg, Germany, its gable decorated with folk figures in traditional regional dress and topped by a civic coat of arms. Flags fly from poles in the foreground as visitors in period clothing move through the grounds. Nuremberg served as a central staging city for Nazi Party rallies during the 1930s, and images such as this document the civic and cultural life of the city in the years surrounding World War II.
