Maciej Skrzeczkowski, winner of the MA Competition in Bruges 2023, devotes this album to #JohnBull (1562-1628), an English composer who fled his country to take refuge in the Netherlands...
There could be nothing more logical in this context than to use copies of English #virginals as well as of a typical Dutch adaptation of the instrument known as the moeder en kind (mother and child).

The Czech educator Jan Amos Comenius was born on this day in 1592.
These images show a selection of musical instruments, with their names and properties in English and #Latin, in a 1659 translation of Comenius' illustrated book Orbis Pictus (the world in pictures), one of the first illustrated textbooks for children.
