Description
Two-sided postcard. Index card decorated on front with stickers; verso is decorated with sticker, rubber ink stamp and U.S. postage stamps.
Double-sided postcard sent from the Netherlands to the United States. The front features a collage of repeated black-and-white portraits of a woman and a Dutch postage stamp reading “NEDERLAND JULIANA REGINA 1 GULDEN.” On the left side, within red border lines, handwritten text says: “in Holland all mail is fe-mail.”
The reverse side is addressed to Daniel Graham, “715 Delaware Avenue, Apt. 1008, Buffalo, New York 14209, United States.” The sender’s information on the left reads: “Anja v.d. Wege, Haarlemmerstraat 281, 2312 OT Leiden, Holland.” A purple Dutch postage stamp in the upper right corner bears a circular postmark with the words “Gebruik ’m goed.” Along the dividing line, handwritten text notes “made in holland, leiden, september ’82.”
