Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1888

This postcard, likely from 1888, was sent by Dutch artist Jan Zürcher to Philip Zilcken. The back of the card features several stamps, including one from Amsterdam and another with the seal of " 's Gravenhage," likely indicating the origin of the postcard. The handwritten message on the postcard is addressed to “de Heer, Heer Zilcken,” indicating that Zilcken likely was of high social standing, which may have influenced the type of postcard chosen. This piece is significant for its association with the Dutch artist Jan Zürcher, but also offers insight into the communication practices of the late 19th century.
