Briefkaart aan Pieter Haverkorn van Rijsewijk Possibly 1896

This is a handwritten postcard, or "Briefkaart," addressed to Pieter Haverkorn van Rijsewijk. The postcard, possibly dated 1896, was sent by Eduard Karsen, a Dutch art dealer, and includes a stamp and a postmark. The inscription on the card appears to be written in Dutch and references a "Kunstkring," which is a Dutch term for an art circle or club. This suggests that this postcard could have been a correspondence related to art collecting, exhibitions, or artistic activities in Rotterdam. The postcard is an interesting example of a personal artifact, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural life of late 19th-century Netherlands.
