This postcard is a rare example of a piece of mail sent by Belgian symbolist painter Octave Maus, known for his leadership of the avant-garde art group *Les XX*, to fellow artist Philip Zilcken. This postcard, dated August 24, 1921, was likely written during a period of frequent communication between the two artists, as Maus' death in 1919 suggests this is a posthumous piece of mail. It offers a glimpse into the artistic networks of the early 20th century.
