Geboortekaart aan Philip Zilcken en Henriette Wilhelmina van Baak Possibly 1919

This birth announcement, possibly from 1919, is a simple yet significant piece of ephemera. It announces the birth of a daughter named Reinilde to Mr. and Mrs. Mees-Verwey. The announcement, likely printed, was likely sent out to family and friends, marking a joyful occasion. This artifact, part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides a glimpse into Dutch social customs and personal lives from the early 20th century.
