Document Possibly 1823 - 1827

"Document" is an anonymous work dating possibly from 1823 to 1827, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This document is a passenger ticket for the Prussian "Personen-Schnell-Post" (Person-Express-Mail) from Berlin to Cüstrin. The ticket is filled out for a passenger traveling on July 6, 1823, and was most likely issued by a postal official. This work, measuring 22.6 cm by 18.5 cm, offers a fascinating glimpse into early 19th-century transportation and the administrative details involved. The handwritten elements add a personal touch to the official form, reflecting a historical snapshot of a specific journey.
