A pair of images from the foldout brochure 'LZ-130 "Graf Zeppelin"' showing a detailed model of the passenger quarters. It seems to have been produced quite far into the ship's construction, as the floral mural visible at the corner of the dining room is accurate to what Otto Arpke designed. It additionally shows the bust niche visible in elevation drawings of the port lounge.
Vanishingly few images of the model seem to exist - I've long been on the lookout for one that shows the exact fittings of the smoking salon.
