The Collection | The End of Times
English · translation
On October 8, 1833, people saw shadows in the sky above the Oudeschans in Amsterdam (the Oudeschans, a historic canal and area in Amsterdam). Many people thought that the end of the world had come. They were afraid and did not know what to think.
But what was really going on? It was a special natural phenomenon. The shadows came from the sky and the sun.
People in the city looked up and saw the strange shapes. It was an exciting day for the Amsterdammers (residents of Amsterdam).
