Item Description
Description:Carefully selected from a vast collection this 1907 postcard from the netherlands is an exceptional piece for collectors historians and philatelists. Each postcard uniquely combines three key aspects that make it highly attractive
1️ philatelic
Posted from AMSTERDAM IN 1907, the card is franked with a 2½ CENT GREEN NETHERLANDS STAMP featuring a K-SHAPED PERFIN (perforated initials typically used by institutions or businesses). It is additionally marked with a RARE PORTUGUESE TRANSIT CANCELLATION, indicating it passed through Portugal en route to MONTEVIDEO URUGUAY—a highly unusual routing for this era.
2️ Aesthetic
The image shows the STADHOUDERSKADE CANAL IN AMSTERDAM, bordered by elegant late 19th-century architecture and lined with tall trees and moored boats. The scene exudes classic DUTCH URBAN CHARM, beautifully rendered in monochrome offset print, with a handwritten date annotation that reads “AMSTERDAM NOV 1907”.
3️ Social and Historical
The message, brief and friendly, complements the postcard’s visual style. The presence of both PERFIN AND TRANSIT MARKS adds significant philatelic interest, demonstrating international routing practices and security measures in commercial correspondence of the time.
This combination of commercial franking postal routing and urban canal imagery makes it an ideal candidate for thematic exhibits on postal logistics urban culture or dutch–south american connections in the early 20th century
