This is a historical artifact, a postcard from the Netherlands. It is dated November 10, 1892, and was sent from "Graaf" to "Philip Zilcken" in "Bergschenhoek." The stamp depicts a woman's head and reads "Nederland 1/2 CENT," which means that the cost of sending the letter was half a Dutch cent. The stamp has been cancelled by a circular postmark that reads "SOESTERBERG NOV 10 92." The "Briefkaart" inscription on the postcard means "postcard." This piece provides a glimpse into the communication methods of the late 19th century.
