This painting by Peter Cramer is rich in detail, dear #histodons - peppercakes, street selling activities in an early modern European urban setting, broadsheets glued to a wall, etc.
But what on earth is the highlighted child transporting on its shoulders? A wooden box full of what? Your help is appreciated! @histodons
@dbellingradt@histodons He’s probably bringing the far more desirable Southern German Springerle with their mold-printed illustrations for every occasion. They’re quite fragile, hence the wooden box.
#Histodons! Any reading recommendations for the American War of Independence? Since beach season doesn't seem to be coming, my current holiday plan is to just jump into a sea of books instead.
@LHaasis@histodons@historikerinnen@earlymodernmaritimestudies I had a lot of fun with the recent irreverent episodes on the decidedly non-academic The Rest is History podcast, if only because they burst the self-important bubble a but. I seem to remember that they had book recommendations, too.
