Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1911

This postcard, titled "Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken" and possibly dating back to 1911, is a rare glimpse into the life of Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema (1863-1917). The handwritten inscription, likely in Dutch, indicates it was sent to Philip Zilcken and suggests a connection between the two. The postcard itself provides a unique window into the communication habits and artistic network of the early 20th century. It is a testament to the everyday artifacts that can shed light on the lives and practices of artists, and it is a remarkable example of the personal touch that can be found in seemingly mundane objects.
