"Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken" is a handwritten postcard by Dutch artist Catharina Alberdingk Thijm, likely dated to 1888. The postcard bears a "S'GRAVENHAGE 11-12 APR 88" postmark, suggesting it was sent from The Hague in April of that year. The recipient, Philip Zilcken, was likely a friend or correspondent of the artist, and the postcard offers a glimpse into her personal life. The use of cursive script and stamps add a historical touch to this piece of ephemera, reflecting the communication practices of the late 19th century.
