Visitekaartje aan Philip Zilcken 1861 - 1925

This is a simple, yet historically significant, calling card belonging to Léon Bourgeois, a French politician, philosopher, and sociologist. The card is printed with his name, title of "Sénateur de la Marne" (Senator of the Marne), and his address: 3, rue Palatine. Bourgeois was a prominent figure in French politics during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, serving as Prime Minister twice. His calling card offers a glimpse into the social etiquette of the time, with its formal presentation and traditional printing.
