Notes
- Fotostiftung Schweiz (Winterthur) holds the Gotthard-Schuh estate-archive — Tier-1 reference for deeper provenance.
- Perspective: curatorial / monograph.
- Re-verification 2026-04-24 (issue #9): the Gasser-edited 1967 Manesse monograph is a print volume and not directly WebFetch-verifiable. The Fotostiftung Schweiz legacy URL
/en/archive/schuh-gotthard/redirected and the Schuh-specific page was not surfaced in the redirected portal view. Worldcat and Schweizerische Nationalbibliothek catalog entries were NOT checked in this round — their existence for this specific monograph is not claimed here. Flaggedverified: falsepending a future pass that fetches the Fotostiftung Schweiz estate page directly. Filename/id mismatch note: the filenameschuh-1967-tagebuch-einer-reise.mdappears to reference Schuh’s 1943 Tagebuch einer Reise while the current id/title point to the 1967 Gasser-edited retrospective — a legacy rename from an earlier draft (the 1943 work’s publisher was not verified this round). Keeping the id stable to avoid breakingpher-gotthard-schuhreferences; flag for a future rename-with-migration commit.
