Olfert Dapper (1636-1689), a Flemish physician and intellectual person, knew perfectly the classical Greek and Latin literature. He was born in Amsterdam and completed his education in Utrecht. Although she never travels in her life, she gives herself to geography studies, so she always bases her knowledge on a wide area in her works. Thanks to his regular and centrist working style, he manages his research team in an exemplary way and publishes history and geography studies about China, Asia, Africa, America, Amsterdam and eastern Mediterranean islands. These books are decorated with high aesthetic standard maps and engravings.
The publication used mostly ancient Greek and Latin literature authors such as Herodotos, Pausanias, Plutarch, Ptolemy, Strabon, Aged Plinius, Apollonios, Hesychios, Pomponius Mela, Solinus, Stephanus Byzantius, John Hrisostomos. Apart from these, portolan (harbor) maps and island maps called isolario (Cr. Buondelmonti, B. Bordone, T. Porcacchi, M. Boschini, VM Coronelli) testify to contemporary travelers (P. Belon, G. Sandys, Sieur Du Loir, J Uses Spon and G. Wheler etc.), accurate maps of his time (J. & C. Blaeu etc.) and information from Dutch traders. Unlike Dapper's other work, "Archipel", this work is not translated into other languages; as a matter of fact, it is understood that the book was published only to praise the magnificent victories won by the Venetians during the Ottoman-Venetian war (1685-1688). Many of the striking engravings are inspired by the work of VM Coronelli. This work created a useful handbook and advisory text for future travelers.

The little girl who was chosen to play the Deagan Organ Chimes with the Dans on this particular day had been holding a Perry the Platypus plush. So the obvious reaction by Jon and Jim was to also make Perry an honorary Dapper Dan as well. He got to stay in the show during the girl's chime debut, finding himself a temporary home in Dapper Jon's vest pocket.

Nikki and Colin were there celebrating their second anniversary! They were there last year for their anniversary as well, but this was our first Dapper Day. Colin pulled out his pocket watch which was a wedding present. Time to get Dapper!
