Hans Günther's album of the Nordic race

[cosmoo]

Gunther was a joke.
-Barely ever used metric measurements.
-Spent more time talking about mental traits of types than actual anthropology.
-Designed his work to be an easy read and to give his main public (mainly Germans with little to no interest in anthropology) an illusion of superiority.
-Et cetera...

Would to interesting to see if anyone could find which country this person came from (second pic):

You know, for him "the Nordic soul" in specific person was sometimes more important than measurements

Unfortunately, you are right about this one. He paid too much attention to supposed mental characteristics of the different Caucasoid subraces while I don't think you can really stereotype all people of a certain type and judge about a person's mentality based on his/her looks.

Corded Aryan mixed with reduced Scandinavian CM, the recipe for "scando-nordids"...

[Grab the Gauge]

All of these people are just depigmented Afro-Asians and descendents of slaves. There's nothing Nordic or European about them. Hans Gunther was a fraud and a coward draft dodger.

Do you have more information about the origins these plates.
I read they are by Gunther and I suspect that they depict Germans but I was wondering if there is more information, like when these plates were made, possibly the exact origin & location of these people etc.

They are German but no mention of their exact place of origin is made.
However, further examples of the Nordic type with ancestry counties can be found here:

Dinarics and Dinaro-Nordics with place of origin mentioned by him:

Some of them don't even look very Nordic to me.

Günther tended to classify nearly every German with a straight nose as "predominantly Nordic", here are some examples of obviously misclassified people I found in Rassenkunde des deutschen Volkes:

Good find. I too thought that many of these "nordics" were somewhat off. I guess this proves that some anthropologists can be biased.

nah, they are still mostly Nordic. Shrinking picture and black and white is deceiving most of the time.
