EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Man and Woman of Friesland (Holland)', is a beautiful representation of traditional Dutch national costume from the early 19th century, as depicted in a book of types and costumes. The photograph, which dates back to 1818, showcases a couple dressed in their regional attire, standing on a cobbled street in Friesland, a province in the Netherlands. The man wears a long, dark coat with a high collar and a white shirt, which is tucked into his trousers. He dons a black hat with a wide brim, adorned with a white ribbon. The man's outfit is completed with a pair of sturdy leather boots, suitable for the rugged terrain of the Friesland countryside. The woman, on the other hand, is dressed in a traditional Friesian costume, which includes a long, full skirt made of a dark fabric, worn over a pair of bloomers. Her blouse is white and features intricate lace detailing around the neckline and cuffs. She wears a red apron, which is tied around her waist, and a white cap with a red ribbon, which covers her hair. The couple's outfits reflect the rich history and cultural traditions of Friesland, which has long been known for its unique regional identity. The cobbled street in the background adds to the authenticity of the scene, transporting us back in time to the early 1800s. This photograph is a testament to the importance of preserving historical records of national types and costumes, providing us with a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the diverse cultural heritage of the Netherlands.
