AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Historical handwritten guestbook / reminiscence book 1888–1908 – Palatinate, Eisenberg – Engelhorn, Gienanth, Schilling
Description
For sale is an exceptional historical handwritten guestbook or reminiscence book from the late 19th and early 20th century.
The authentic original contains numerous handwritten entries from a period roughly 1888 to 1908. The entries come from various people and contain personal dedications, poems, memories, travel reports, place and date indications as well as signatures.
The entries are predominantly written in historical German script or Kurrent. Some entries are also in Italian.
Particularly striking is the relation to the Palatinate and Eisenberg. At the same time the book documents various travels and stays outside the region.
Particularly interesting entries
Among other things the book contains dated entries from:
Eisenberg / Palatinate
Albisheim – 18 September 1900
Badenweiler – 3 March 1902
Venice – 15 June 1905
22 August 1908 – one of the last preserved entries
The entry from Venice on 15 June 1905 is especially noteworthy and contains a longer Italian text.
Historically interesting names
Among the readable or very likely identified names are, among others:
Marie Engelhorn
Alexander Schilling von Canstatt – very likely
Ilma von Gienanth
further names from the circle of the Engelhorn, Gienanth and Schilling families
numerous other people whose identity could not yet be clearly determined
The Engelhorn, Gienanth and Schilling families were historically linked. The existing entries therefore offer interesting starting points for further genealogical and regional historical research.
Identification of individual persons is partly based on legible signatures and partly on historical genealogical contexts. Not every person appearing in the book has been able to be identified beyond doubt so far.
Character of the book
This is not a printed book with printed content, but a personal reminiscence and guestbook kept over many years with authentic contemporary handwritings.
The different hands, inks, poems and personal texts make the book an interesting historical document.
Condition
Age-appropriate condition.
The paper has darkened with age and shows corresponding signs of use. The original handwritten entries are predominantly well preserved and visible.
After the last preserved entry from 1908, numerous blank pages follow.
In the area after the preserved entries there are also several missing or torn-out pages. This fact is explicitly stated as part of the condition.
Please carefully note the photos. They show the actual condition as well as numerous original entries of the book.
Of interest to collectors
The object is particularly suitable for collectors of:
historical guestbooks and family registers
old handwriting
German Kurrentschrift
genealogical documents
regional historical documents of the Palatinate
historic family archives
personal reminiscence books of the 19th/20th centuries
An unusual original document with numerous authentic entries spanning about two decades.
