Master’s Students Create Magazine on Wendela Bicker
How do you interpret archival traces to uncover the life of a 17th-century woman? Three Master’s students took on that challenge during a tutorial led by Judith Noorman, resulting in a thorough and beautifully designed magazine about Wendela Bicker, the wife of Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt.
For four weeks, students Kirsten van Tunen, Bente Tas, and Isabelle Vogel immersed themselves in Bicker’s account book, exploring how she shaped her world — and that of her husband — through her letters, connections, financial decisions, and jewelry.
