Max Enke – Postcards Home

In 1900, when Max was 16, he apparently went on a touring trip of Switzerland.  It is not clear who accompanied him, but he did regularly send back postcards to his father, describing where they were and what they had done.  He also sent camera film for developing (where the photographs are now is unknown).

Here are some of the postcards:
