Updates to the book
Raphael Kirchner and his postcards. New edition

A fascinating aspect of the postcard collection is that it can never put an end to the search.
Almost a year after the publication of our book, a few but interesting new pieces have been added.

In this page we report the updates to the new edition, as we receive new information, also thanks to the collaboration of all readers of the book and of the site.
