It contains two  drawings of the Ullmer couple by Rizal, and about 40 sketches by Karl Ullmer.  It seems to be indivisible because it tells well about Rizal's friendship and its cultural background. \nIn a time when photos were mostly taken indoors, it was the custom fixing memories of journeys and voyages in drawing-books.  So did Karl Ullmer in the 1880s, back when he lived in Wilhelmsfeld near Heidelberg, Germany. \nIn 1886, Rizal had retired in a small and quiet village in order to finish his first novel, Noli me Tangere.  For four months he was hosted by the  Ullmer family and felt like a member as he wrote to the Ullmers later. \nAt that time motor cars were not commonly used.  Travelling was restricted on places of short distance such as Odenwald and the Rhine Valley for  Ullmer.  Most of the places and landscapes drawn by Karl was known to Rizal as well.  In which ones he was shown, around, we don't know yet. \nSketchbooks were handheld as a personal and intimate object such as diaries.  To invite somebody to contribute drawings was a sign of close friendship and common understanding.  An appreciation of similar craftsmanship as well. \nUllmer was a follower and admirer of the 1848 revolution in Germany.  Surely he and Rizal acquainted with the German achievements on the field of civil rights and the risk of military resistance.  Ullmer's friendship and open dialogue with his Catholic colleague Bardorf was more than a surprise for Rizal. \nStreets in Calamba, Laguna and Wilhelmsfeld were named after Karl Ullmer.  Since 50 years ago Wilhelmsfeld has developed to be the place in Germany to celebrate the memory of Jose Rizal.  Rizalists from all over the world visit the Wilhelmsfeld Rizal Park with the Rizal statue and busts of his German friends such as Virchow, Blumentritt, and Ullmer.  Hundreds of guests participated in the celebration of the newly extended and ameliorated park in June 19, 2016. \nThe Ullmer sketchbook with Rizal drawings of the Ullmer couple are rare and outstanding Rizaliana Relics.  Probably the only ones left outside the Philippines.","lot_group":"BOOKS","lot_details_html":"<p><strong>Jose Rizal</strong> (1861-1896)<br /><em>Sketch Book with 40 Sketches by Karl Ullmer and 2 pages by Jose Rizal</em><br />the drawings by Jose Rizal is signed and dated 1886, and inscribed Der Hausvather (father of the house) and Die Hausfrau <br />(mother of the house)<br />5 3/4&rdquo; x 8 3/4&rdquo; (15 cm x 22 cm)</p>","alias":null,"hp":1400000,"bp":0.168,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":1400000,"userBid":5926,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":null,"hammer_price":1635200,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":37011,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/53/81/lot/155.jpg","isFeatured":1},{"id":37014,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/53/81/lot/155b.jpg","isFeatured":0},{"id":37013,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/53/81/lot/155d.jpg","isFeatured":0},{"id":37012,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/53/81/lot/155c.jpg","isFeatured":0}]},"increment":[900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":154,"next":156,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
