Abstract
“Stammbuch” – A collection of postcard-sized images with notes written in German addressed to Anton Reiff, Sr. on the subject of his departure and relationships. The postcards are held in a small green box which itself is held in a brown sheath. The sheath slides off, and the cover of the green box opens like a book. The postcards are in a neat, loose stack inside the box. For each postcard, two photographs were taken: first, a photograph was taken of the image (recto) and then the writing or note found on its reverse side (verso). Clicking through the images in the online viewer simulates flipping through each card in the stack one at a time.
