Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1902 - 1924

This postcard to Philip Zilcken was written by Marie Jungius in the late 19th or early 20th century with ink on paper. Look at that handwriting! It's like a dance, looping and swirling across the page. Each letter carefully crafted, with a sense of personality that you just don't get with typed words. I imagine Marie Jungius sitting at her desk, pen in hand, carefully forming each letter, choosing just the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings to Philip. There's a real intimacy in the handwritten word, you know? It's like you're getting a little glimpse into the writer's soul. I wonder what their relationship was like. Were they close friends? Lovers? Acquaintances? You can almost feel the connection between them, even across time and space. It makes you think about how we communicate today, with our emails and texts. Are we losing something important in the digital age?
