One thought on “August Books 51) The Island, by Armin Greder

  1. Quite a few tables in the photograph seem to have helically carved legs as per the ones in the picture, and it’s not unreasonable that some of the furniture could have survived, or have been replaced in similar style. Also, you can just make out enough of the portraits to see that the leftmost one at least is probably the same (a man with a ruff).
