Museum item: Unknown author, Dutch Landscape witha a River, 17th century.

Digital item: Brown Leather Bag

Note from donor:

This is first second hand victory: a brown leather bag that I found in a vintage shop in a small village somewhere in the Netherlands. I bought it 12 years ago for three euro, and it had traveled through Europe with me ever since. Even though it gets more and more frayed by the day, it is still my favorite bag! When I opened it for the first time, I found and old black and white photograph in it, and a schedule with church services in the area. I like to imagine that the bag belonged to and old and classy lady that used it for special moments only.
