Bourtange, Westerwolde NL
Fort Bourtange was started to be built during the Eight Years' War (1568-1648) in order to control the only road between Germany and the city Groningen. Surrounded by trough marshes the ford was adjusted and used successfully in many wars till 1851 when the surrounding swamps did dry out. The star fort was restored to its mid-18th-century state in 1960 and it is currently an open-air museum.

at Het Nieuwe Instituut Rotterdam,
A lecture by Dr. Richard Harmanni
The lecture was given in one of the set designs made by Erwin Olaf. The mockup hotel bar like surrounding in soft warm colours gave it a pleasant stage. As bonus Het nieuwe Institut presented some old dutch Wallpaper from they're collection. Richard Harmanni explained that the Stichting Historische Behangsels en Wandbespanningen was initiated 1992 by private collector Bert Maas. The Foundation not only collects the Wallpapers but document they're origin. Around 1620 Wallpaper was not jet made from paper, Heavy textile was hanged flamboyant from the sealing. In stead of the Textile they also used Cuir de Cordoue (goudleer) which where painted and embossed leather hangings. The oldest Wallpaper in the collection of SHBW is this blue block print found in Utrecht. It dates c.a 1750 and has an english tax stamp on it.
Before the industrialisation Wallpaper was made out of multiple small leaflets.
