Briefkaart aan Philip Zilcken Possibly 1920 - 1922

This aged postcard was sent by Vittorio Pica to Philip Zilcken from Paris in 1920. It's got all the markings of its journey, ink stamps and scribbled notes, that tell a story of travel and communication. You can see where the stamp was placed, a little green square. Imagine Pica carefully sticking it on, ready to send his message. The address is neatly written, a human touch amidst the official stamps. It makes you wonder about Pica, about what he was thinking when he sent this. Was it a quick hello, or something more meaningful? Was he in love? Probably not. It reminds me that even simple things can be full of life. It's like how painters talk to each other across time, borrowing ideas, responding and reacting. A postcard becomes a tiny canvas, holding not just words, but feelings, intentions, and maybe even a bit of the artist's soul. We can never know for sure, but the mystery is the point, right?
