In this print titled "10020765 (HOLLAND Noord Holland Alkmaar Cheese carriers at the Friday cheese market in Waagplein Square)" by David Cumming, we are transported to the vibrant heart of Alkmaar, a city renowned for its rich cultural heritage and delectable cheeses. The image captures the essence of an age-old tradition that has been celebrated for centuries - the iconic Friday cheese market. Set against a backdrop of stunning urban architecture, locals and tourists alike gather in Waagplein Square to witness this lively spectacle. A sea of people from diverse ethnic backgrounds fills every corner, creating a tapestry of cultures united by their love for food and drink. The atmosphere is electric as visitors immerse themselves in the bustling energy that permeates through the air. The star attractions are undoubtedly the cheese carriers, adorned in traditional costumes that harken back to a time long gone. These dedicated individuals skillfully transport enormous wheels of cheese on wooden sledges known as "kaasbrikken" showcasing their strength and precision with each step they take. Their unwavering determination reflects not only their commitment to preserving Dutch traditions but also pays homage to generations before them who have upheld this cherished custom. As our eyes wander through this scene, we cannot help but be captivated by the tantalizing aromas wafting from nearby stalls offering an array of delicious treats. From creamy Gouda samples to freshly baked breads and local delicacies
