Untold Story of Henri Pol
This is an entry in my own altered book themed "Untold Stories" that I´ve wanted to do for a while now. Some time ago I´ve found an article in my newspaper telling the story of a vintage Parisian postcard that shows Henri Pol, a man who was famous for being familiar with the birds he fed in Paris every day. The article taught me that this person has been the real life original of the man feeding birds that Rilke described in his novel "Malte Laurids Brigge", one of my favourite books. Of course I had known that text passage (that I´ve written down here), and maybe I had seen the postcard before, but when I read the article now, I immediately recognized that I even own a rubber stamp featuring that person! So the idea for a journal page was born, and here it is as my entry for this week´s Saturday´s Workout theme "Altered Books".

Hi Marion...what a wonderful and interesting presentation for this theme....hopefully look forward to seeing and reading more about it as time passes.
Greta spread, great story.
Das sieht ja mal bombastisch aus, Marion. Mal was ganz Anderes. Super Idee mit dem "Vogeldresseur".
Schönes WE wünsche ich Dir.
Boah wie klasse. Nesuper Idee für einen Eintrag.

Terrific spread and journal entry Marion. Great story!
The birth of this spread sounds like synchronicity to me! It looks wonderful.
