Prentbriefkaart aan Philip Zilcken before 1925

This postcard was sent by Jan Pit to Philip Zilcken, but there is no date. Just imagine them sitting down with the card, maybe in a cafe. What was it like to craft a message to a friend, knowing it would travel through space and time? The smudged stamps and faded ink tell a story of their own. Look at the flowing script and the way Pit forms the letters. You can almost feel the pen in their hand, pressing down on the paper, leaving its mark. I wonder what they were thinking about as they wrote? Were they sharing a secret, reminiscing about a shared experience, or simply reaching out to connect? I love to imagine all the hands that touched this postcard over the years and all the eyes that scanned it looking for a connection. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of human connection.
