I hereby repeat my invitation to do this again someday in may 1997 (3? 10?)
in my Amsterdam workshop. Plenty of place, light, tables, drinks etc. Being
my own boss I promiss not to throw anyone out before 01.00 hrs. the next
day. Possible excursions to either the Rijksmuseum or the municipal
archives (large photo collections). On april 30 it is queensday in
Amsterdam (the birthday of queen Beatrix' mother Juliana) and the whole
town is one big garage sale, great hunting grounds for camera's, photo's
etc, live music all day long and general party time for everybody.
let's see what can be done and organised

PS. Luis, I found a print that says
"proc=E9d=E9 et imp Georges Petit"
and he is not in your encyclopedia!! it looks like a (not too well
executed) heliogravure to me.
