This may be well known by Voigtländer experts. It is new to me and was recommended as a source by Tim Deming.
The series deals with everything Voigtländer - so is a bit uninteresting apart from the Bergheil and early large camera stuff.
Eventually, at the start of the 3rd Volume(!) Brigitte and Claus Prochnow get around to Voigtländer Objectives. Chapter 23 (pages 617 - 644) covers lens development. The basic structure of the chapter is simplifed/standardised entries from yearly Voigtländer catalogues with illustrations taken from these catalogues. There is a linking text but the information is quite "dry" with very little modern photo illustration (unlike our own CCHarrison). The nature of the illustrations means that the real appearance of the engravings is not that easy to figure out.
I have no relation to the authors/publishers - other than I have sent them a thanks!
This is from 2007 - isbn 978-3-89506-274-2 - printed in Braunschweig!
I dare not take a closer photo of a page because of respect for their copyright.
I thought it would better placed here - rather than under "Resources".
