Daniel Bellingradt

Walking in style in a library in 1654. The shoes he's wearing while transporting 4 big books in Wolfenbüttel's Herzog August Bibliothek were trending in mid-seventeenth century Europe.

Detail from Caspar Merian's "Bibliotheca in Wolfenbüttel" from 1654 showing someone carrying books inside a library.
