En hestevogn er langt fra blot en hestevogn! 🐴

Uanset hvor grundig man er, så ved museets medarbejdere trods alt ikke alt.
Men museets brugere ved faktisk sammenlagt det meste. Og derfor elsker vi, når nogen giver sig tid til at sende os et tip.
Mange tak til den skarpsindige person, som har belært os om, at det afbillede køretøj ikke (som vi naivt troede) er en “kabriolet”, men faktisk en “gig”. Nu rettet 🙏

Der er i øvrigt tale om en radering udført af hollandske Gerrit Claesz. Bleker i 1600-tallet. Den er indlemmet i samlingen før museet blev oprettet i sin nuværende form.

As mentioned before, the topic of historical games is currently reorganized on our #wiki. And that line of work brought us the latest subpage, a transcription of a #publicDomain article "Musical Games of Antiquity" by J. F. Rowbotham from 1899:

The central activity in the text is "The Cottabos" consisting of throwing wine to a cup and listening to the sound...

#DoeiDag tip: ik hou van lezen & download regelmatig Engelstalige #PublicDomain boeken voor op mn PocketBook #ereader.

Zonder Kobo of Amazon kun je dan toch heel makkelijk gratis legaal boeken lezen.

De prettigste website voor Engelstalige boeken is @standardebooks Standard Ebooks:

https://standardebooks.org/

Een andere die wat minder prettig werkt, maar ook Nederlandstalige #PubliekDomein
#boeken heeft is @gutenberg_org Project Gutenberg:
