The Hanseatic League was formed in the middle ages as a mercantile association based initially along the Salt Route and it grew to encompass most of Northern Europe, and I'd never heard of it before. Once again I am reminded of the huge chasms in my knowledge of things which are practically on my doorstep! If you'd like to know more about the Hansa, there's a good overview here.
this is beautiful as usual - and i hear you about the huge chasms - i'm finding they are getting larger and larger in my head...sigh
ReplyDeleteLovely. I'm really drawn to architectural drawings with a bit of whimsy.
ReplyDeleteThe art has a cozy feel indeed. Thanks for the link to read about the Hansa--I love to read, to learn and to armchair travel. Your blog is really nice, btw, I will be following you as soon as I post this with compliments. Would love to have more international readers as well so if you're curious, please visit me and see what you see.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
