27 June: A pivotal day in history marked by contrasting events. With the Russians crossing the Danube from Silistra to Sistova, a boat was struck by a Turkish shell, signaling the ongoing war in the East (engraving). Meanwhile, a coronation festivity was held by the kings wish, with representatives of Indian and colonial troops and the king's regiments in European armies taking part in the pageant (litho). Elsewhere, Maurice's army toured Ostend (1600, Floris Balthasarsz), while Philipp Emanuel von Fellenberg established his Chief School at Hofwyl on this day in 1771.
