Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1899

This artwork is a postcard addressed to Philip Zilcken, likely sent from Italy in 1899. Vittorio Pica, an Italian art critic and historian, is known to have sent postcards to his contacts. The postcard features a stamp with the Italian coat of arms and a stamp from the post office in The Hague, Netherlands. The address and postmarks offer a glimpse into Pica's correspondence and the postal system of the late 19th century. The artwork is a fascinating example of epistolary art, using the physical object of a postcard to convey meaning and historical context.
