The Doll’s House of Petronella Oortman c. 1710 by Jacob Appel
In the seventeenth-century, Dutch doll’s houses looked like cupboards, not houses. This one resembles a cabinet; a cupboard set on legs, with doors. The cupboard originally had curtains. This can be seen in a painting that was made of the doll’s house around 1710. The painting shows that the interior of the house has remained much the same. The main difference being that the house in the painting is inhabited by more than twenty dolls, made to scale. Only one baby doll has survived. Two of the rooms were altered slightly during the eighteenth century: there used to be a garden beyond the entrance hall, and the tapestry room was once shrouded in mourning.
Although she was a logical, practical person, she believed that in books there existed a kind of magic. Between the aging covers on these shelves, contained in tiny, abstract black marks on sheets of paper, were voices from the past. Voices that reached into the future, into Claire's own heart and mind, to tell her what they knew, what they'd learned, what they'd seen, what they'd felt. Wasn't that magic?
