Visitekaartje aan Jean de Resgré 1867 - 1930

This handwritten card is a visitekaartje, a type of calling card popular in the 19th century, created by French diplomat Guillaume le Verdier. It was likely given to Jean de Resgré as a social courtesy, or perhaps as a way to formally introduce himself. The text, written in French, indicates that le Verdier was an attaché at the French Embassy in The Hague. This card provides a glimpse into the social customs of the era, and offers insight into the role of diplomats during this time.
