The tale , not the picture by pyrrhula

The tale , not the picture

By the theme ``doors`` I want to send a pic of this door.
It`s an old,very old, prison door. In those days most townhalls did have a prison .
About 4 years ago , the museum find this door as garbage and ask me to restore this door.
It happend to be the old prisson door of our city and was completly coverd with fillers and paint.When I clean it it shows that capitves carved there names , dirty jokes, signs and tales into the wood . For so far , nothing new.
But in the square , in the middle of that door, a remorse capative carved the ,, Our Father ,, Matthew 6 : 9 -13 , in the wood.
Because the door is now exposed in the museum I wasn`t able to get the whole , this it must do, not my best pic but I love the story of it






























































That is a cool story! Very neat

Great story and door. Thank you for sharing this story. Perhaps you can take pictures of the door "in sections" and then make a collage type picture showing the whole door.

Dat is het lot van gevangenisdeuren... In het Haagse museum De Gevangenpoort is ook van alles in de deur gekrast (maar geen Bijbelspreuk, geloof ik).
