Charles de L'Orme, inventor of the plague doctor outfit. So yes, Dr. Schnabel is actually Dr. De L'Orme. And the strange thing here is, despite the GIANT Star of David around him, I can't any mention of his being Jewish. There's no Hebrew in this image, and the Wikipedia entry on him doesn't list it among his languages spoken. So I'm guessing this is some Dan Brown-level symbolism....?</image:caption></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/facebook_1606972008220_6740129121972826781-1.jpg</image:loc><image:title>facebook_1606972008220_6740129121972826781</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/img_20171029_011744232.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_20171029_011744232</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/img_20171028_234928572.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_20171028_234928572</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/img_20171028_233053328.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_20171028_233053328</image:title></image:image><image:image><image:loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/img_20171028_221554961.jpg</image:loc><image:title>IMG_20171028_221554961</image:title></image:image><lastmod>2020-12-03T08:18:49+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq></url><url><loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/2020/11/24/happy-388th-bento/</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://theamsterdamned.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/norm-shinkle-e1606264367108.jpg</image:loc><image:title>norm shinkle</image:title><image:caption>Norm Shinkle, the man on the Michigan Board of Canvassers who wanted to throw out my vote, and the vote of more than 5 million other Michiganders, in order to install a dictator.

She was Thomas J. Randolph’s daughter and was sold to the Garrett family. She was recaptured, after trying to run away, and put on the auction block and sold to a Dr. Cox, who made her his mistress. They had five children, one of them Nannie Cox Jackson, a noted Charlottesville educator and community leader. When Emancipation came, in 1865, Elizabeth Scott determined to live independently and supported her family by working as a dressmaker. People like her, determined to live free, could be part of our national mythology.

After their ship was trapped in the ice, the expedition crew of 16 spent the winter in this shelter (Het Behouden Huys, The Kept House) that they built on Novaya Zemlya. Led by the Dutch navigator and explorer William Barents (c.1550-1597), this expedition attempted to find the Northeast Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Barents died in June the following year as they attempted to escape.
