Description
Town criers were the means of communication with the people of the town since many people could not read or write. Proclamations, local bylaws, market days, adverts, were all proclaimed by a bellman or crier.
Criers were not always men, many town criers were women. Bells were not the only attention getting device - in Holland, a gong was the instrument of choice for many. This crier uses only his voice, shouting whats going to happen this day, and announcing the opening of the fair by Lady of Brederode and household.
Have a great fantastic day and thanks for your support and kind comments on my previous postings. Also thanks to everyone who added my work as a favorite.
