"Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken" is a postcard from the Italian Post Office, possibly dated 1899, featuring an elegant, hand-drawn illustration of a coat of arms featuring a white cross on a red field. The postcard was addressed to Philip Zilcken in The Hague, Netherlands. Vittorio Pica, an Italian painter and art historian, may have sent this postcard during his travels. The image demonstrates the aesthetics of late 19th-century Italian postal art and offers insight into the social history of communication during that era.
