source acquisition desk

Kipper Research Desk

A workbench for the part of Kipper that cannot honestly be closed from web retellings. It exposes external acquisition targets, request status, and modern German bibliography that dates later techniques without projecting them back into the nineteenth century.

01

1. Deutsches Spielkartenmuseum Leinfelden-Echterdingen

REQUEST_PREPARED_NOT_SENT

The request is prepared but not sent. The goal is an image-bearing early witness with institutional identity, not another retelling of the method.

  • Seidlein 1900/1910 instruction witness if 1890 unavailable
  • shelfmark/inventory/microfilm identifier
  • box/leaflet photographs
  • reproduction terms

Acceptance: Image-bearing witness with institution/holding identity and stable locator.

2. Museumsstiftung Post und Telekommunikation

REQUEST_DRAFT_READY_NOT_SENT

The request is prepared but not sent. The goal is an image-bearing early witness with institutional identity, not another retelling of the method.

  • whether accession 3.2013.1402 includes leaflet/instructions/box text
  • additional object photographs or accession documentation
  • provenance beyond public record

Acceptance: Institutional response or image-bearing accession material that can be retained and hashed.

03

3. Königsfurt-Urania / rights-holder chain

REQUEST_DRAFT_READY_NOT_SENT

The request is prepared but not sent. The goal is an image-bearing early witness with institutional identity, not another retelling of the method.

  • archival Seidlein/F.X. Schmid instruction witnesses
  • bibliographic provenance of the 13 instruction-card lineage
  • archive/reference contact for historical editions

Acceptance: Publisher archive response with edition-specific source identity; modern material remains modern unless directly tied to an early witness.
