Friendship albums have been around for centuries - small books full of memories and stories in which friends and acquaintances have left their mark.

We trace these traces in two 19th century friendship albums from Würzburg. In addition to the owners, the focus is on the entries themselves: handwritten texts, sometimes artistic drawings and embroidery, which make the albums very personal and individual objects.
