Did someone see the sale on ebay?? Someone has bought the other Helene postcard with her photo (not the painting) for 80,00 Euros.
The seller had a good day! I got two postcards.



The room where Helene died. Albert made a little chapel in this room.

Painting by Olga Wisinger-Florian

I know about that sale. I had hoped to find cdv or cabinet cards of Helene and her daughters (Luise & Elisabeth), but no luck.  :(

At two cards you can see Luisa as an elder woman.

They were posted before in the first pages. Thanks anyway. (BTW mostly of the pictures of that page were posted in this forum before. I ve seen pictures posted by myself over there with a notorious watermark)

Yes...It is hard to find new photos of Nene, as they are so few...in circulation.

Been to Sigmaringen. Did some research on Mathilde & Madi.

And they didn't redirect you to Khartoum (click link to see why) when you asked about Madi instead of Mädi?  :-)

I will work on those letters from Madi to her parents once I get someone to translate them. She had a very lonely childhood.  :(

Thanks. They were written in French, German, Italian and...English ! Also got Spatz 's letters to Madi's widower, they were written in long hand which is hard to read.
