What was it like?

The world around 1673: who ruled, who else was alive, how people lived. This is general history, not a record about the family, and every item shows where it comes from.

On working days, both men and women typically wore aprons, which often became stained by their specific occupations, such as printing or butchery.

During their lifetime
