Visitekaartje aan Philip Zilcken before 1903

This is a handwritten calling card belonging to Marinus van der Maarel, a Dutch artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Created before 1903, it features a formal inscription in elegant calligraphy and the word “Clasener,” which could potentially refer to a printing firm or publisher. These cards, also known as visiting cards, were used in Victorian society for social introductions and formal communication.
