Catalogue Note
Max Planck was a German theoretical physicist, best known for contributions to the field of quantum theory. Planck was awarded the 1918 Nobel Prize for physics "in recognition of the services he rendered to the advancement of Physics by his discovery of energy quanta." This card extends his printed thanks for good wishes on his 80th birthday; the handwritten portion, in German, roughly translates to: "at the same time with cordial greetings to you and your highly esteemed mother. Always your completely devoted, M. Planck."
