EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1915, a young Dutch couple stands at the end of a jetty, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation as they feel a tug at the end of their fishing line. Dressed in traditional Dutch attire, the man dons a simple, collared shirt and trousers, while the woman wears a voluminous, high-necked blouse and full, ankle-length skirt. The intricate design of their clothing, with its bold patterns and intricate stitching, speaks to the rich textile heritage of the Netherlands. The couple's focus is entirely on the water before them, their fishing rods held tightly in their hands as they prepare for the thrill of landing their catch. The sun sets behind them, casting a warm, golden glow over the scene, and the gentle ripples of the water reflect the fading light. The tranquility of the moment is only broken by the occasional splash of a fish jumping out of the water, adding to the couple's sense of adventure. This beautiful photograph, captured by the talented artist Ethel Parkinson, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a simpler time when the pleasures of nature and the simple joys of fishing could bring such delight. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional ways of life, and the timeless connection between people and the natural world.
