Excerpt from A Tour Through Part of Belgium and the Rhenish Provinces
We likewise visited the church of notre Dame, where there is a fine picture by Vandyke, representing the descent from the cross. This church had suffered by pillage during the revolutionary era, in common with most others throughout this country; and all that was gold and silver in former days, is replaced in less valuable metals. A sermon was preaching while we were in the church. We observed a school of two hundred 'foundling boys, who are maintained by the voluntary charity of the inhabitants.
