It accounted for a fifth of all the grain consumed in Holland in the 1790s, and was less heavily taxed than other cereal crops. Flour milled from it is a pale brownish-beige colour. A buckwheat mill in Leiden is documented in the mid 18th century, and it was demolished in 1780, so this tile picture may be commemorative. The initials 'S.V. LEYDEN' may indicate that the mill owner's name was S. van Leyden or that his initials were S.V. of Leyden. Label text from the exhibition ‘Feast and Fast: The Art of Food in Europe, 1500–1800’, on display at The Fitzwilliam Museum from 26 November 2019 until 31 August 2020:Buckwheat was the cereal of the poor, and accounted for a fifth of all grain consumed in Holland by the end of the eighteenth century. This tile picture shows the typical interior of a rosmolen (horse-powered rotary mill) and the various stages in buckwheat milling. The pride in mechanisation, efficiency, and the resulting contribution to the Dutch economy is evident in the lengthy inscription: ‘The groat trade is shown here: the buckwheat is first brought in, dried and crushed. It is then sifted, weighed, ground, and sorted in the bolter. Finally, it is packed in sacks which are taken to the market and traded for silver. This is how goods and industry are paid for’. reference term-106779 adlib-term-106779 f0706fcd-d94c-3987-bcb5-f7f794332b6a 18th Century, Late reference term-128992 adlib-term-128992 fa0b3241-6d7e-3136-abbb-b3e5dee9b82b literal United Provinces of the Netherlands United Provinces of the Netherlands country South Holland reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 50.8 Width cm 63.5 reference media-12779 adlib-media-12779 43f85044-e4f1-3cb2-82cd-1b7240431594 jpeg aa/aa6/C_2847_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616251347156 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/mid_C_2847_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1616251347156 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/C_2847_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1616251347156 1 image jpeg aa/aa6/preview_C_2847_1928.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1616251347156 1 image 0 media image reference term-108342 adlib-term-108342 122e352a-5eb8-3b5e-9a14-f5e697064136 tile picture history note unknown before Dr J.W.L.
