Charles Dellschau: The Visionary Artist Found In A Dumpster
"In 1969 second-hand furniture dealer Fred Washington bought 12 notebooks a trash collector had found in a Houston, Texas, dumpster following a house clearance. That same year, Mary Jane Victor was picking through stuff at Washingtonās OK Trading Post warehouse when she happened upon the books. Inside she discovered the work of Charles Dellschau (born Berlin 1830 ā died Texas 1923). Sensing she was on to something special, Victor contracted the Art Director of Rice University, Dominique de Menil, who bought Dellschauās work for $1,500 and exhibited it. Dellschau, a long-dead Prussian immigrant had been ādiscoveredā.
He had arrived in the United States at 25 years old from Hamburg in 1853 and documents show he lived in both California and Texas with his family, working as a butcher. After his retirement in 1899, he took to filling his days by filling notebooks with a visual journal of his youth. He called the first three books, Recollections and recounts a secret society of flight enthusiasts which met in California in the mid-19th century called the āSonora Aero Clubā.
The Wright Brothers wouldnāt even make their famous first flight until 1903, but Dellschau draws dapperly-dressed men piloting brightly-coloured airships and helicopters with revolving generators and retractable landing gear. No records have ever been found of the Sonora Aero Club but Dellschauās artworks hide a secret coded story.
All together, the shoestring-bound books contain some 2,000 pages, each a double-sided collage replete with calligraphy (often in a code that is still today only partially deciphered), drawings, and newspaper clippings. (Dellschau referred to the clippings as āpress blooms,ā as though they were preserved flowers.) Each page ā or āplate,ā as Dellschau called them ā is dated and numbered, though the counting starts at number 1601. The estimated 10 volumes with the first 1,600 drawings are presumed lost or destroyed.
What are these scrapbooks? Are they an elaborate fantasy, spun out of the overactive imagination of an aging man? An outright delusion? Or are they earnest recollections of a lost time, a commemoration of the best years of a long, hard life?
Dellschauās wife, Antonia, bore him three children. In 1877, tragedy struck: Antonia died, and their six-year-old son, Edward, died two weeks later. Census records show that Dellschau remained in Richmond for a while afterward with his daughter Bertha.
In 1889, the phone directory lists both Dellschau and Bertha in Houston, living with Dellschauās stepdaughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Anton Stelzig, a harness- and saddle-maker and the founder of the Western clothing store that still exists in Houston.
Sometime before 1892, Dellschauās daughter Bertha was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was institutionalized. By 1898, the sanatorium wrote Dellschau that she wouldnāt live much longer.
For a few years after moving to Houston, Dellschau worked as a salesman and clerk for Stelzigās saddlery and harness business on Main Street, between Congress and Franklin. But the aging butcher ā in his late 50s when he moved to Houston ā never mastered work in a service industry. āThey sent him home,ā says Leo Stelzig Jr., Antonās grandson. āHe was kind of abrupt and wasnāt smooth with the customers.ā
It was then that Dellschau began to fill his days by filling his notebooks. He wrote a two-part, 200-page journal and produced roughly 5,000 ink-and-watercolor drawings before his death in 1923. By Steenās calculation, that works out to the furious rate of a drawing every day or two. āHe had something to say,ā Steen concludes. āThe most important thing in his life was his work.ā
Leo Stelzig Jr. was two years old when Dellschau died and, as a boy, used to rummage through the attic looking for old letters whose stamps could grace his collection. In the process, he came across Dellschauās belongings and marveled at the bizarre aeros.
Dellschauās notebooks languished in the attic until sometime in the 1960s. According to Steenās search of public records, the fire department found the house a fire hazard and ordered that it be cleared of debris. A nurse whoād been hired to care for Anton Stelzigās two aging sisters attacked the job zealously and in the process consigned many of the Stelzigsā valuables to a trash heap on the curb. Among the losses were old World War I uniforms, some very old records and ā worst of all ā Dellschauās notebooks. Now 74, Leo Stelzig shakes his head sadly as he recounts the nurseās words: āI took care of that mess and cleaned it all up.ā
Dellschauās wife, Antonia, bore him three children. In 1877, tragedy struck: Antonia died, and their six-year-old son, Edward, died two weeks later. Census records show that Dellschau remained in Richmond for a while afterward with his daughter Bertha.
So we hear about the wife and son, Edward, and also daughter, Bertha. What happened to the third child she 'bore him'?
In 1889, the phone directory lists both Dellschau and Bertha in Houston, living with Dellschauās stepdaughter, Elizabeth, and her husband, Anton Stelzig
Step-daughter? So he remarried aftet Antonia died?
Perhaps he is. Or perhaps humanity has been helped by He whom is directly behind Qās ability to provide 6-7 years of perfect future information. Maybe in addition to all of these clues in this thread, also all discussed in Fall of the Cabal Part 10.
The End Wonāt be For Everyone, but have faith in God, as for us Anons it will be glorious.
Love it! I'll be ordering soon. Just watched a YT video on Tesla which brought up John of course. I agree that there seems to be some legitimacy (relatively speaking) when you connect John and the books...particularly considering what the Kozyrev mirrors (possible link to looking glass?) may have been capable of. Anon posted link to that video which led me to sub to the guy's (mr. Mythos) channel.
could you tell me please ,, exactly which series did u buy , there are several on Amazon and the one series thst I bought and canceled a few minutes later after I read the reviews , everyone said. ā do not buy print to small to read ā one person said they couldnāt read the print was so small and she has perfect vision ?

Still waiting for the promised flying cars, but would settle for a Trump airship train.
Like at the end of Back to the Future 3?

Interesting, very interesting.
Zoom in to the guy on the right driving the Trump train.
Holding a puppet? Doll?
Maybe Bidenās head. Haaa
It's so strange but interesting and mysterious. It's like this guy saw the future.
That has always been one of my favorite fringe topics. I'd love to read the series.
