The size of the blueprint is 95x68cm, it is in excellent condition, and, for better handling, it was folded to the standard size of construction folders. It shows the 0-Series scaled up to 3:1 size, with all the parts numbered, the signature of Oscar Barnack is still visible in the lower right corner. Provenance: estate of Wilhelm Albert.
