На https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Albert_Sonnichsen качвам напоследък разни други материали свързани със Сониксен (негови снимки и кореспонденция основно), които намерих в архива му, и от които голяма част не са виждали бял свят досега. Може и там да се намери нещо интересно. Некои от писмата са частично разчетени.
