Background
The cards show Leipnik's extraordinary range of contacts, and would supplement any biographical study. They include many diplomats accredited to The Hague from the Central Powers, who presumably gave Leipnik some of the information he passed on to London. Including Leipnik's own card as 'Manager of the Foreign Department, Financial Times '.
