Envelop aan Philip Zilcken before 1916

This artwork is an envelope addressed to Philip Zilcken in the Hague, Netherlands. Created by an anonymous artist before 1916, the envelope features a handwritten address and a green stamp with the image of a lion. This artifact, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into everyday life in the Netherlands during the early 20th century, showcasing the art of hand-written calligraphy and the use of postage stamps. The envelope's simple design, the handwritten address, and the stamp serve as a reminder of the past, a time before email and internet communication.
