CC8 Antique undated but circa mid 1930s German large (approx 4" x 2") cigarette card of Charlotte Buff shown as a magnificent framed portrait and on reverse all about her history (in German language) unused bar light imperfections in outstanding condition and with vintage character as scan will show.
Charlotte Buff was a youthful acquaintance of the poet Goethe, who fell in love with her. She rejected him and instead married Johann Christian Kestner, vice-archivist and privy councillor to the Hanoverian court. The character of Lotte, in Goethe's novel The Sorrows of Young Werther, is partly based on her.
