ROSEGGER
(Peter, 1843-1918, Austrain Wrier and Poet from Krieglach in the province of Styria)
Postcard Photo by
Hans BÖHM
(1890-1950, Photographer) boldly signed
showing him head and shoulders in slight profile, looking pensive, 5½” x 3½”, no place, no date, circa
He was a son of a mountain farmer and grew up in the woodlands and mountains of Alpl. Rosegger went on to become a most prolific poet and author as well as an insightful teacher and visionary. In his later years, he was honoured by officials from various Austrian universities and the city of Graz (the capital of Styria). He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times. He was nearly awarded the Nobel Prize in 1913 and is (at least among the people of Styria) something like a national treasure to this day.
