Ernst Altien

Korrespondance between Ernst Altien and his mother By a strange coincidence both her letters and his are preserved. You can read her letters and some of his answers. There is of course no answer to the first letter from her, which he found long time after she had left him. All the letters are originally written in German, but are here translated to English. To some of them he has made his comments in Danish. These comments are preserved in their original form. Most of the letters gives a new glimpse of his life, but in a few of them both his mother and he are discussion subjects of art.
