Nice find! I have a whole folder full of telegrams like this one (but with different decorations) from when my grandparents got married in the ‘50s. A lot of acquaintances sent these to congratulate them.
This is the first time I see a telegram. I had no idea they were used as late as ‘47. They always seemed something much more old-timey to me.
Why do you have a cave? Can I get a cave too?
Beste wenselen van geluk en zegen?
Raar taaltje in wortelsengem
Met zo’n familienamen kan dat niet goedkoop geweest zijn.
Wow, it’s beautiful. I always imagined telegrams as some very simple string of texts on paper. This is like a wall art.
