Carl Jacobsen wrote many letters to his wife, Ottilia, and their children, Theodora, Helge, Vagn and Paula. The letters paint an interesting picture of Carl Jacobsen as a family man, and in combination with his correspondence about art and the brewery business, these personal letters complete the image of this multifaceted person.
Now for the first time, all the letters from Carl Jacobsen to Ottilia, Helge and Vagn that are preserved in the Glyptotek archives are made available online. Later, his letters to his daughters, Theodora and Paula, will be added to the online archive.
