Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1899

This is a postcard, or "carte postale," sent from Roger Marx, a French photographer, to the recipient Philip Zilcken before 1899. It bears several French postmarks, the most visible is that of the Paris Victor Hugo post office. The postcard displays typical elements of a late 19th-century postal card, such as the inscription "la carte ci-jointe est destinée à la réponse," indicating a reply was expected. This postcard, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the personal correspondence of a notable photographer.
