Thank you for the link and nicely written article. You are so right, letter writing was an important form of communication in the 17th century.

Thank you for your very enjoyable post. The point about writing letters is very well made and an important part of communication in the 17th century. The Mauritius is in Den Haag (The Hague) and The Girl with the Pearl earring is scheduled to return there on 31st March (however this might change).
Also The Rijksmuseum has released some additional tickets for The Vermeer show (available since 10th March). They are all evening slots.
Happy writing and thank you for sharing your post! Janet @educated-traveller

(But you don’t say whether you think that the Pearl ear-ring was a real pearl or an imitation glass bauble, as Pieter Roelofs thought…..?!)
