Wilhelm "Willy" Maywald (15 August 1907 – 21 May 1985) was a German photographer who was best known for his portrait and fashion photography.

Early life and education
Maywald was born on August 15, 1907 in Kleve, German Empire (present day Germany) to a family of hoteliers. He grew up becoming interested in the aesthetics of art. Maywald studied at the Technical Schools of Art in Krefeld, Cologne and Berlin. His wide range of education was what let him to be the avant-garde artist that he was.

Career
After school, Maywald returned to this hometown in 1931 but soon realized that the city was too small for the career he wanted for himself. He then moved to Paris where he began his career of photo reporting and befriending other modern artists. He chose to live a bohemian lifestyle and photographed various subjects such as artists, dancers, fashion, etc. Maywald photographed the qualities of living in France with his camera. He became an assistant to Harry Meerson who was a Polish photographer and started to learn from Meerson how to make a living from photography.

Maywald moved to Switzerland in 1942 and was held captive in camps for foreigners. In the year of 1943 he was allowed to start working again in portrait photography as a self-employed artist. Maywald was very well known for his black and white photography and stunning lighting.

When he moved back to Paris in August 1946 he mainly focused on fashion and celebrity photography. He photographed for various fashion designers and his images were recognized internationally. Maywald was known for photographing in unique scenes. He was one of the first fashion photographers to photograph his subjects in the streets of Paris. He had a way of photographing his subjects in these various places but the image still focused on the model/clothing. He became Christian Dior’s elite photographer. Maywald photographed the well-known designers creations and his photographs were featured on the cover of several magazines including Vogue and Vanity Fair. Although Maywald was the main photographer for Dior, he also photographed for several other fashion designers at the time. Although photographing fashion, he produced images of celebrities as well.

These celebrities ranged from artists to movie stars to athletes: Tamara Lempicka, Hans Arp, Georges Braque, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Georges Rouault and Maurice Utrillo.

Maywald retired in 1968, and died in 1985 in Paris.

Super cute
The shelf is cute, and super easy to set-up. Be careful with the screws, I stripped the magnet screw/hole a little bit. Street that I was a little weary on over-tightening the four corners of each shelf. Make sure you use the wall straps bc it will be a little wobbly.

Great shelf

Very impressed with this! It was very easy for me to put together without any help. Very sturdy pieces and seems well made. Really can’t beat the quality for the price! The glass door on the bottom really dresses up this shelf. I will probably buy more of these for other rooms in my house.

Elegant shelf, easy assembly!
Color: White, Size: 4 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 40.8 Inches), Color: White, Size: 4 Tier(10.7 x 15 x 40.8 Inches)
I almost returned this because I didn’t think I could put it together, but the step by step picture instructions were easy to follow, and I assembled this in about 50 minutes, taking my time and also wiping down each wood piece so it would be ready to go once finished. This came packed very well and no parts were missing or messed up. It’s very elegant looking for being inexpensive and just what I needed budget wise and style wise. It is sturdy and beautiful and I like it very much and am glad I kept it, it is worth it!

Very easy to put together. Lightweight, great for what I was looking for. Holds a lot of books and perfect for me. I didn't want a heavy clunky bookcase.
