L and E: Photograph of The Girl

On 6th October last year the Post had a c. 1923 photograph of the young man who, many years in the future, would enable Persephone Books to be set up. Here now is a c. 1915 photograph of the girl (she is on the left, it's her younger sister on the right) who, one day, would be equally crucial; like the young man she was born in 1907 so in this picture she is about eight. She too would leave Germany and come to England in 1933.
