Another page from a Hesse journal


The Klingspor had an extire exhibit devoted to Hermann Hesse and his watercolors, typography and books. The walls had a very interesting pictorial biography. I wished I could have understood all the text that went with it.
I visited the Klingspor with the intent of viewing the calligraphic collections. Unfortunately, I heard from the docent, who didn't speak a work of English, "Das biblioteca ist glossen.". Those words were close enough to Dutch, and I got the message that all the calligraphy is housed in the library, which is only open Tues-Fri. Oh well, I had a nice time visiting Offenbach.
