Biography

According to the NNBW he studied art at the University of Amsterdam and became a print collector while still a student, specialized in Amsterdam history.[1] To simplify his research, from 1885 he became a volunteer at the Amsterdam auction house of Frederik Muller.[2] In 1896 he published his first work on the history of the Amsterdam publishing industry. His Iconographia, a comprehensive guide to portraits of Dutch people, was published by Frederik Muller & Co. In 1898 he began work as assistant to Philip van der Kellen in the Amsterdam Rijksmuseum and from 1903 until his death by tuberculosis he was the head of the print cabinet of the museum. From 1907 until 1911 he was a member of Teylers Tweede Genootschap. He worked together with Abraham Bredius on the magazine Oud Holland, and Bredius wrote his obituary.[3] He died in Amsterdam.

gollark: The Pi 4 has 4 A72 cores and the RP64 has 2 A72 ones plus 4 A53 ones, but they're clocked higher. I don't know which of those is actually *better*, since I haven't checked benchmarks.
gollark: There's also Pine's own RockPro64, which I think is ~~about as fast~~ somewhat faster as the Pi4 CPU-wise, and the ODROID N2, which is probably one of the most powerful reasonably cheap ARM SBCs about.
gollark: The RPi4 has a better CPU and GPU than the 3, no idea if it can run that.

gollark: London gets stupidly fast (10Gbit in some places, even) fibre, but most of the UK isn't London.
