This handwritten postcard, possibly dated 1893, is addressed to Philip Zilcken, a "music teacher" residing in "Den Haag" (The Hague) by Menso Kamerlingh Onnes. The postcard bears a stamp from Leiden, indicating its origin and the postmark from "s'Gravenhage" (The Hague) suggests it was mailed from the city. This artifact offers a glimpse into the everyday life of the Dutch physicist Kamerlingh Onnes, a Nobel Prize winner known for his work on low-temperature physics, providing a personal touch to his historical legacy.
