The engraving edited by the 'Photographische Gesellschaft in Berlin'.

The envelope (most probably without a letter) with the address 'Judith Gautier, 50 Rue des Martyrs à Paris'. Gautier (1845-1917) was a French writer who had a profound influence on Richard Wagner (1813-1883). He was in love with her and she was a source of inspiration for the play 'Parsifal'. In the 1870s there was a busy exchange of letters between Paris and Bayreuth, the town where Wagner resided.
