Graf ZEPPELIN 1934 TIMETABLE LZ no.2 to South America .... including the Original Clara Adams Autograph

"She was obviously aware of the historical significance of what she was doing," said Friedman, "because she had the foresight to autograph anything she could get her hands on -- luggage tags, tickets, fragments of Zeppelin skin, post cards. On one particular flight, she posted more than six pounds of mail."

9 augustus 2008 > Vandaag is het 46 jaar geleden dat Hermann Hesse overleed.

Deze week kwam ik in het bezit van een handgeschreven enveloppe uit 1952 van mijn geliefde schrijver Hermann Hesse. De enveloppe is beschreven in Montagnola, de woonplaats van Hesse.
Hesse voerde tijdens zijn leven een uitgebreide correspondentie; zo'n 35000 brieven/kaarten zijn er door hem geschreven.
Hermann Hesse overleed op 9 augustus 1962.
