Details

Nicolaas Samuel Cruquius (Kruikius), Dutch hydraulic engineer, land surveyor and amateur landscape painter. His original name was Nicolaas Kruik, but, like many well-educated men of his time, he Latinized his name to Nicolaus Samuel Cruquius. He was one of many promoters of a plan to pump the Haarlemmermeer (Haarlem lake) dry. //
