#Earlymodern #fakenews: the "camel-man" #cannibal from #Hungary in different English, Dutch and German news items and various shapes. Finally caught by King William III in September at Limerick in 1690 and brought to #London.
So-called Lüsterweibchen chandelier from the town hall of Eger, #Hungary, 16th c., coll. @MAKWien. The combination of natural antler and a man-made carved statue created a perfect unit for decoration and room illumination and had an almost magical appeal. https://t.co/YTTWaLedoT
#Holdmybeer: #earlymodern gable stone on former 'Bierdragershuisje' in #Amsterdam, depicting #beer carriers, c. 1651, demolished in 1829, coll. @stadsarchief
Very convenient: #bookstore next to a #lingerie shop in #earlymodern shopping centre Galerie du Palais, #Paris by Abraham Bosse, c. 1637 - 1638, coll. #rijksmuseum
One critical note on the Pieter de Hooch exhibition in @HetPrinsenhof: it was a missed opportunity not to connect the typical #earlymodern red bricks, floor tiles and #delftware tiles of the #museum building with the topic of the paintings.
City view changed forever: Voldersgracht, #DenHaag with the Jewish community @NIGDenHaag, c.1900, col. @GemeenteDenHaag and Google Streetview, c.2017, now as a part of Chinatown. 1/2
#Earlymodern slipware dish with Adam, Eve and monster snake found in Enkhuizen: it looks even better when colours are inverted. C1605, coll. @HuisvanHilde
Some more #earlymodern #marriage gifts with inscriptions from North-Holland: perhaps similar ones can be interesting historic sources for genealogical research @EricHennekam, coll. @Openluchtmuseum. One found in Graft, 'Marij Jacops 1688', one with: '(G)rietje anno 1694'
One of the most beautiful #earlymodern slibware plates I have ever seen made in northern France or Flanders and found in Scotland, c.1612, coll. @HMV_Kassel
First polder of the Netherlands, Achtermeerpolder next to #Alkmaar, c.1532-33, hardly recognisable on heightmap. (thank you @envirosec for this tool!)
