Commentary

"… 1978 at the earliest"The content of this postcard does not allow it to be dated precisely. The postcard with Victor Manuel’s painting could be related to the painting exhibition held in Cuba in 1978, whose catalogue Henze owned and is now kept at the library of the Hochschule für Musik in Detmold.
