A Wanderer in Holland

CHAPTER XV
9/18

Should, nay must.

Hindeloopen (which means stag hunt) has been called the Museum of Holland.

All that is most picturesque in Dutch furniture and costume comes from this little town--or professes to do so, for the manufacture of spurious Hindeloopen cradles and stoofjes, chairs and cupboards, is probably a recognised industry.
In the museum at Leeuwarden are two rooms arranged and furnished exactly in the genuine Hindeloopen manner, and they are exceedingly charming and gay.

The smaller of the two has the ordinary blue and white Dutch tiles, with scriptural or other subjects, around the walls to the height of six feet; above them are pure white tiles, to the ceiling, with an occasional delicate blue pattern.

The floor is of red and brown tiles.
