The Manneken Pis (Flemish for little man urinating), 'naked' on the left and clothed on the right, is a famous Brussels landmark.

His wardrobe now consists of several hundred different costumes. The costumes are changed according to a schedule managed by the non-profit association The Friends of Manneken-Pis, in ceremonies that are often accompanied by brass band music. A descriptive ink mss. note below the image on the right relates how Louis XIV's modesty was so affronted by the statue that he endowed it with a 'rich wardrobe'.

This was published in Vincenzo Coronelli's 'Isolario dell'Atlante Veneto'. Coronelli (1650-1718), was Official Cartographer to both Louis XIV of France and the Doge of Venice, as well as being Father General of the Franciscan order.
