THE SILHOUETTE ALBUM CARL SCHUBERT

From 1778 to 1781, the Göttingen student Carl Friedrich Schubert created a personal memory album with about 200 silhouettes of important people in black ink. The first 33 pages depicted professors from the Göttingen faculties. What is remarkable about the album is that the portraits of teachers were each provided with ironic remarks on the back by Schubert himself.
