 On the right at the corner under the tower of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange (at the beginning of what is now the Rokin) was the bookshop of Abraham Wolfgang, left of the gate that of the widow of Johannes Colom. Their signs can just be seen. The text on the sign of the widow Colom reads 'In de Vurige Colom' and there is probably a wolf depicted on that of Wolfgang.
