Autograph – Else Hueck-Dehio, German-Baltic writer (1897–1976).
Handwritten postcard signed "Your old Else," dating from 1957.
She was the chairwoman of the German Protestant Women's Circle and a member of the Munich-based "Tukan Circle."
(From 1934 onwards, Else Hueck-Dehio wrote numerous stories—often set in her Baltic homeland—most of which were published by Eugen Salzer-Verlag. Her novel *Liebe Renata* (1955) is considered her major work. Her book for young readers, *Indianersommer*, was shortlisted for the German Children's and Young Adult Literature Award in 1966. Historian Jonathan Schilling introduced the term "semi-confessional regional literature" to the discussion, citing the "combination of Christian and regional elements" in Hueck-Dehio's body of work. He defines this as "writings situated on the threshold of confessional literature—though not directly classified as such—that simultaneously exhibit a strong connection to one's homeland and region."
