Op de prent van Amsterdamse prentkunstenaar Pieter van Voorde uit de jaren 1660 zien we duidelijk een zwarte Balthasar, zoals we die ook kennen van de schilderijen vanaf de late Middeleeuwen. Het zou kunnen dat een van de koningen gespeeld werd door een Zwarte Amsterdammer.

En deze zaterdag leverde @voetnoot.bsky.social het openingsverhaal van de Amsterdamse geschiedenis in het @parool.nl over de zoektocht in 1767 naar een veilige plek in de stad voor een reuzendiamant, die uiteindelijk terecht zou komen in de scepter van de Russische tsarina Catherina de Grote.

In 1758, during the Seven Years' War, English privateers captured the Bremen merchant ship Concordia. The subsequent legal battle preserved something remarkable: the ship's complete archive. ⛵️

I have so many books at home and at work, and I've rearranged my shelves so many times, that often I struggle to find a volume I know I have and find it easier to just go to the library than track it down. All of which is to say, I think I need a librarian. Or fewer books. 🗃️
