Description

Title: Clothing, shoes, perfume, etc.
Creator: From the Collection: Speck, William A. (William Alfred), 1864-1928
Published / Created: undated
Description: Including packaging for Faust nail polish stones and advertisements for the “Dalli” self-heating flat iron, which feature a humorously updated Gretchen
Provenance: Acquired at various times and from various sources., The Speck Collection of Goetheana: General Ephemera consists chiefly of material that has long been associated with the William A. Speck Collection of Goetheana but has never before been cataloged. A significant portion of the material came to the library as part of the Faust collection assembled by George Wilhelm Heinrich Ehrhardt and acquired by William A. Speck in 1923. While much of that collection was cataloged, some remained in various “miscellaneous” files or “object” boxes. (Ehrhardt items usually bear tiny stickers with a number in ink in a German hand.) Other items seem to have been saved by Speck or sent to him and his successors because people knew of their obsessive interest in Goethe—postage stamps, advertising trade cards, clippings, post cards. The provenance of particular items, when known, has been recorded in the list of collection contents.
