In this Deluxe Golden Book you can see the wedding of Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit, they got married on June 28, 1633. Things were very different then than now, there was no big wedding cake and no photographer, for example, but there were many important guests.
We owe it to master painter Rembrandt that today we can see the bridal couple in their most beautiful clothes. You can find the original paintings in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
The story is written by Jan Paul Schutten and the beautiful illustrations were made by Martijn van der Linden. Completely in the style of Rembrandt and Vermeer, you will see Amsterdam in the 17th century, better known as the Golden Age. A beautiful impression of those times, in a Little Golden Book.
