Substantial interesting GA of a Swedish-Dutch person writing in French, on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the original hook best because it includes the image of his work, which is licensed and gives an idea of both the period and his main topic. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
