Prentbriefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1910 - 1917

This postcard was written by Halfdan Strøm sometime in the late 19th or early 20th century. It's got that faded, sepia thing going on, like it's been hanging out in someone's attic for decades. I’m picturing Strøm with a fountain pen in hand, carefully writing out each word to Philip Zilcken. You can almost see the ink bleeding slightly into the paper, a physical manifestation of the thought process. He is sending sincere and warm salutations. The writing is so graceful, it's like a dance across the surface. You can feel his breath in the curves of the letters, his energy channeled into the words. It's interesting to think about how much intention and care went into something like a handwritten note back then, a stark contrast to our quick digital messages today. It makes me wonder what stories this postcard holds, what connection it represents between two people.
