Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1888

This is a handwritten postcard, possibly dating back to 1888, from the Dutch artist Margaretha Roosenboom (1843-1896). The postcard features a stamp with the date "28-8-88" and the location "s'Gravenhage" in the Netherlands, indicating that this is a historical document. The addressee is "De Wel Edele Heer P. Zilcken" and is likely a letter that was sent to someone, potentially a patron or friend, from the artist in The Hague. The postcard is a fascinating example of a personal artifact from the life of a Dutch artist, and gives us a glimpse into her daily life and her interactions with others.
