The trunk belonged to one of the most active postmaster and post mistress of the day, Simon and Marie de Brienne, a couple at the heart of European communication networks. The chest contains an extraordinary archive: 2600 “locked” letters from all over Europe to this axis of communication, none of which were ever delivered. Learn more about the trunk and its contents
The trunk was imaged May 6, 2019 at the Sound and Vision The Hague Netherlands by Mark Mudge and Carla Schroer of Cultural Heritage Imaging.
The 3D model is built using photogrammetry from 235 50MP images shot with a Canon 5DSR camera and 24mm lens. The model does not have any smoothing, hole filing, or hand editing. This 750 thousand face model is decimated from a higher resolution model created from a dense point cloud with >100 million points.
