Visiting Historic Houses in Amsterdam

Froukje Wattel

?? 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. 200 colour illustrations
