Brief aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1918

This artwork is a typewritten letter by the Belgian lawyer Laurent Fierens. The letter, likely written in 1918, is addressed to Philip Zilcken, a man whom Fierens was apparently planning to meet. Fierens explains that he had to postpone their meeting due to an unexpected trip to Belgium and subsequent illness. This simple letter, though not a painting or sculpture, offers a glimpse into the life of a lawyer during wartime, and it is a testament to the power of written communication.
