Ever since akg-images was founded in 1945, the company has been collecting a wide range of books, illustrations, photographs and ephemera into its own archives. This treasure trove of objects, now housed in the head office in Berlin, covers the history of the world in colourful and unusual ways - perfect for when our clients are looking for something that little bit different to illustrate a story.
