1886 Yokohama Yamate Bluff Dutch Diplomat Johannes Jacobus van der Pot Postcard

Description: 1886 Yokohama Bluff Dutch Diplomat Johannes Jacobus van der Pot Postcard This postcard was mailed from Yokohama on March 23, 1886, and reached Zwolle, Netherlands, on April 24, 1886. It was addressed to "Mrs. van der Pot," likely Johanna, the mother of Johannes Jacobus van der Pot. Given that records show she passed away on September 4, 1886, the message was probably sent to wish her well or offer similar sentiments. In 1886, Johannes Jacobus van der Pot was listed as Minister Resident, residing at # 71 Bluff in Yokohama, with Leon van de Polder serving as his Secretary and Interpreter. Much more historical information can be obtained by visiting: https://www.dejima-tokyo.com/ This postcard shows signs of dark toning, but the details are still clear, and the paper stock remains strong. However, the message is in Dutch with overlapping text, making it impossible for me to read. The only text I could decipher is "23 Maart" (23 March) on the message side, at the vertical bottom. This is an early Yokohama document that could hold significant historical content and should be translated for further insight.
