Breymann's Institute, Wolfenbuttel, Braunschweig.

Hello,
I have inherited a large amount of postcards dating from late 1890's to 1907, these were addressed to either Mary Valentine of Millbank house Girvan or to her sister Rose. These are family members
..A few of these cards are addressed to Rose at the Breymann's Institute dated between 31st Dec 1898 and 26th July 99.

Rose was a doctors daughter born in Girvan in 1879, she didn't marry and never was employed. I would like to know if possible what Rose was studying at the institute.

Rose attended Girvan Burgh School and the Ayr Academy then went on to be a boarder at the Wynthrop College Ashton upon Mersey, she also attended Glasgow School of Art 1911-1912.

Rose was gifted artistically and I wondered if the Breymann Institute was connected to Art.

Thanks in anticipation
Patricia

Newspaper ads describe it as a boarding school for young ladies.

Thank you,

looks like she spent a lot of time at various schools, probably went there from Wynthrop college which also advertised itself as a school for daughters of Gentlemen.. Art would have been taught there which would lead her to the Glasgow School of Art

ps
Just a thought was the newspaper ad in an English paper?

The ones I saw were Glasgow Herald 24 July 1897 and The Scotsman 25 July 1896.  There may have been others but I didn't go on looking.

That's fine, you have been a great help.

I tried on internet but couldn't find anything other than when the institute was started ..

Once again, thank you, keep safe, Patricia x
