  1. Beste Frank, mijn computer raakt helemaal verstopt met die prachtige omslagen van jou. Bedankt !

  3. Ook deze Gentse dame, Dulle Griet, doet haar duit in het zakje !
    Dit is een spotprent naar aanleiding van de Gentse nijverheidstentoonstelling in 1920, Dulle Griet schiet de prijzen in het rond. (Vandaag gezien op de mooie Willem I tentoonstelling in het STAM).
