Overlijdensbericht aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1909

"Overlijdensbericht aan Philip Zilcken" (Death notice for Philip Zilcken) is a printed death notice from 1909. Created by an anonymous artist, the notice is printed on a white background and is framed by a black border. It states that Jan de Koo, father and grandfather, has died. The notice includes the family's addresses in Rotterdam and Luik, and politely requests that visitors and flowers be withheld. The notice is held by the Rijksmuseum and is a poignant artifact documenting family life and death announcements in early 20th century Netherlands.
