Antwerp

Tony Barton has recently turned up the attached picture of Pierson la Hues, the Town Drummer of Antwerp 1581 which I forward to you here. I've attached my other pictures of 16th c. drummers - no provenances, I'm afraid though we could probably find out something about each of them with a little investigation.
