With the Ag­fa Col­lec­tion, the Mu­se­um Lud­wig holds not on­ly an ex­ten­sive col­lec­tion of pho­to­graphs from the nine­teenth and twen­ti­eth cen­turies, but al­so—lit­tle known and not yet ful­ly pro­cessed—the archives of the Ag­fa, Leo­nar, and Pe­rutz ad­ver­tis­ing de­part­ments. As doc­u­ment­ed by an­nounce­ments in pho­tog­ra­phy mag­azines, the com­pa­nies en­cour­aged their cus­tomers to sub­mit neg­a­tives, and those whose works they ac­cept­ed were paid. The neg­a­tives and vari­ous prints were used to pre­sent the qual­i­ty of the pa­pers, neg­a­tives, flash­es, and other items in brochures, mag­azines, and at fairs. Neg­a­tives and pho­to­graphs by Aenne Bier­mann (1898–1933) have al­so been found in th­ese col­lec­tions.
