A secretary’s plea for a colonial vision
from Viewpoints – Placecloud (English) Hosted by Babak Fakhamzadeh

Imagine this is the winter of 1642; narrow windows filter the pale northern light into the vaulted chambers. Stone floors echo with quiet footsteps. The thick oak doors are shut, but beyond them, the States-General is in session, a body of burghers, regents, and envoys who hold the fate of an empire in their hands.
