That was Hitler's photo album.  Not a photo album of art prints.

It wasn't a book of art BY Hitler, Tac. But a book compiled by/for him, including some examples of artwork the Nazis stole.

Although I remember seeing somewhere that he actually WAS a highly talented painter, but he was rejected by a major art institute when he was younger (may have been before WWI). I want to think it was because his prefered subjects (landscapes, IIRC) had fallen out of fashion.
