Postcard Sent by Charles Steinmetz to Clara Steinmetz, February 28, 1897, "Gruss aus Breslau"

Charles Steinmetz moved to the United States in 1889 and began an influential career in electrical engineering. His sister Clara, a poet and painter, followed sometime around 1897. The siblings remained close, visiting one another and corresponding regularly until Charles' death in 1923. On a business trip in 1897, Charles mailed Clara this postcard with "greetings from Breslau," their German hometown.
