Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1916

This postcard was made in 1916 in Amsterdam by Adriaan Pit. It’s a humble little thing, but full of intention. I imagine Pit, hunched over a table, pen in hand, carefully forming each letter. He's not just writing words; he's crafting a connection, a moment shared across distance. Look at the way the ink bleeds slightly into the paper, like a whisper escaping the confines of language. You can almost feel the weight of his hand, the pressure and release as he moves across the surface. Pit seems to be updating Philip Zilcken on what's happening in his life - travel and Cooper. The materiality of the postcard – its size, the texture of the paper, the faded ink – all contribute to its quiet power. It speaks of a time when communication was slower, more deliberate, and infused with a sense of intimacy. The gesture of the hand, the act of writing, is such a primal form of expression. It's a reminder that even in our digital age, the human touch still holds a unique kind of magic.
