EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HOLLAND: SKATING, 1891" takes us back in time to a picturesque winter scene in the Netherlands. The image showcases a Dutch woman and her young daughter gracefully gliding across a frozen canal on their way to market. It is evident that skating was not only a means of transportation but also an integral part of daily life during this era. The wood engraving, created by an English artist in 1891, beautifully captures the essence of traditional Dutch culture. The mother and daughter are dressed in charming period costumes, with the woman wearing a cape and bonnet while her little girl dons an apron and hat. Their attire reflects the practicality required for braving the cold weather while still maintaining elegance. In the background, we see a windmill standing tall amidst vast fields, symbolizing Holland's iconic countryside scenery. This juxtaposition between nature and human activity highlights the harmonious relationship between people and their environment. The Granger Collection has skillfully preserved this historical moment through their meticulous reproduction of this wood engraving. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, we can't help but be transported back to turn-of-the-century Holland - where tradition meets innovation on ice-covered canals under wind-driven mills.
