About this work

This is a page from an old book with faded, handwritten French text. The ink is light brown, almost blending into the yellowed paper. At the bottom right, a signature reads *"Souvenir de Votre ami Plazen."* There’s a small sketch of a cross in pencil near the bottom corner. The date "1795" and the city "Vienne" (Vienna) appear in the text, hinting at a personal letter from long ago. The handwriting looks hurried, like it was written quickly. If you like old letters and history, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
