Postcard from Holland is a regular feature on this blog. On Wednesdays I post a card from my collection of vintage postcards. Today: A postcard from a hospital in Maastricht.
Vrouwenverpleegzaal, women's nursing room, in the hospital Calvariënberg in Maastricht. Patients and nurses all pose for the photo.
