WITTGENSTEIN, Ludwig (1889-1951). Autograph postcard signed ('L. Wittgenstein') to the architect Paul Engelmann, n.p. [stamp of Kanonbatterie Nr.1], 31 March 1918, giving his exact address, with an account of his moods ('Bin leider wechselnder Stimmung'), his considerable pleasure in their last meeting, his work ('Kann ein wenig arbeiten'), and sending greetings to Engelmann's mother, in pencil, on a field postcard, one page, oblong 8vo.
WITTGENSTEIN AT WAR: it was during the last year of the war, serving in an artillery regiment, that Wittgenstein began to develop his Tractatus. His collaboration with Engelmann in the design of a house in Vienna for one of Wittgenstein's sisters was to be a first step in his re-integration into intellectual life in the 1920s.
