EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Netherlands in the 1930s. The image showcases two young girls standing on a landing stage in Marken, a picturesque village known for its traditional Dutch culture. Their attire is an exquisite display of national costume, with aprons, headgear, and clogs that reflect their cultural heritage. The girls' innocent expressions reveal their curiosity and perhaps a hint of mischief as they stand by the water's edge. In the background, we catch a glimpse of boats gently swaying on the calm waters, emphasizing the importance of water transport in this region. The photographer has expertly captured not only these charming children but also the essence of life in rural Holland during this era. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to the scene while highlighting every intricate detail of their costumes. This beautiful illustration was featured in "La Hollande" by Henry Asselin, published by Van Munsters Uitgevers Maatschappij in Amsterdam around 1934. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of Dutch traditions that have been passed down through generations. As we gaze at this enchanting photograph print today, it transports us to another time and place - immersing us into the rich tapestry of Dutch culture and reminding us how precious our heritage truly is.
