Delft is a popular tourist destination in the Netherlands, famous for its historical connections with the reigning House of Orange-Nassau, for its blue pottery, for being home to the painter Jan Vermeer, and for hosting Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Historically, Delft played a highly influential role in the Dutch Golden Age. In terms of science and technology, thanks to the pioneering contributions of Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and Martinus Beijerinck, Delft can be considered to be the birthplace of microbiology.

The dutch mailbox.
The frst mailbos was introduced in the Netherlands around 1850. In the beginning there were about 70 mailboxes and only in the big cities. In the rest of the Netherlands everyone in that time had to go to the postoffice to post a letter. The first mailbox was made of cast iron ans was nicely decorated.I think the mailbox in this picture dates from 1914.
Oude brievenbus in Delfshaven
De Nederlandse brievenbus
De eerste brievenbus werd geintroduceerd zo rond 1850. In het begin stonden er alleen maar brievenbussen in de grote steden.In de rest van Nederland moest men naar het postkantoor om een brief op de bus te doen.
De eerste brievenbussen werden gemaakt van gietijzer en werden zwaar gedecoreerd.Ik denk dat de brievenbus op deze foto in 1914 is gemaakt.
