Visiting Historic Houses in Amsterdam Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

“… In fact, my entire journey through Amsterdam’s vibrant house museums was one great historical sensation in a variety of contexts.

I followed in the footsteps of Dutch East India Company directors, workers, orphans, writers, artists, architects, and many others, seeing how they lived and worked.

How they ate in poverty-stricken 19th-century slums or at lavishly laid tables in canal-side mansions of Van Loon or Bartolotti.

How they prayed in secret with Father Parmentier in a clandestine attic church.

I am not longer just an Amsterdammer: now I’m an Amsterdammer with a past." - Froukje Wattel. Text in English and Dutch.
