Blad met handgeschreven beschrijvingen van scènes uit 'Keur van gedenkwaardige tafereelen uit de vaderlandsche historiën' 1893 - 1895

This is a page from a sketchbook created by Dutch historian and cultural theorist Johan Huizinga between 1893 and 1895. The page contains handwritten notes, in Dutch, about events in Dutch history, along with a simple line drawing that depicts a scene from one of these historical events. Huizinga, known for his work on the cultural history of the Middle Ages, used sketchbooks to gather material for his research. This page showcases his interest in visual representations of historical events, which ultimately influenced his writing. The sketch itself is a minimalist representation of a historical scene, emphasizing the important elements of the story.
