EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century drawing by Johannes Jelgerhuis depicts a view through the window of the 'Herenkamer' or Deanery of the Evangelical Lutheran Church on the Nieuwe Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The Herenkamer served as the official residence and office of the dean of the church, as well as a poorhouse and orphanage. The drawing captures the interior of the room with its grey flooring, ornate bench, and intricately designed doorways adorned with heraldic blazons. Two boys, dressed in simple clothing, sit on the bench, engrossed in their work. A housemaid stands nearby, her back towards the viewer, as she goes about her chores. The boys, a representation of childhood in this era, seem to be focused on their tasks, a sign of the discipline and hard work instilled in them at the orphanage. The drawing is a testament to the rich heritage of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Amsterdam during the 18th and 19th centuries. The use of chalk on paper adds to the delicate and intricate details, making it a valuable piece of art and a window into the past. The drawing also highlights the concept of the interconnectedness of various professions and occupations within the community, from the dean and housemaid to the boys in the orphanage. Overall, this drawing by Johannes Jelgerhuis is a beautiful and thought-provoking representation of life in Amsterdam during the 19th century.
