I clicked on the link but did not know how to find the samplers. I tried each individual link but only get to pictures as in portraits etc - no samplers :-(
ReplyDeleteIn the box on the upper left which has the word Zoek on it - there is the place to type in the search term and hit return. The you should get the samplers - click on a sampler image for more information and on that screen click on the photo again for a larger image. Hope that works for you now.
