postcards and photos from the early-mid 1900s

Hotel auf der Wartburg

Another view of the interior of the Wartburg this is Luther’s room. Behind where this photograph has been taken there is a lovely old cupboard with carved doors and it’s rather unfortunate it got left out. The green thing on the right is the stove, that’s the kind you find in most homes especially in the country and in mountain huts and chalets. The [???] on the extreme right is a wooden bed also with lots of carving on it but it’s just the frame there’s no spring or clothes on it. The roof of it was carved wood too I hope Auntie is having a good time at Carluke[???] and Fife.

Hotel auf der Wartburg

This is a picture of Elizabeth’s chapel inside the Wartburg and the colours are really pretty well reproduced. There’s a whole gallery of epsisodes in St Elizabeth’s life and incidents showing her kindness to the sick and then her chapel comes at the end of the corridor. The windows and roof are particularly lovely only three of the eight tiny snapshots came out owing to bad light but they only cost 3 1/2d so that’s not so bad. The three [???] were good but we know to take the others in very strong light now.
