EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the picturesque Dutch village of Volendam in the 1910s. The scene unfolds on the shores of the IJsselmeer lake, where a traditional Dutch ferry is making its way across the water, connecting the village to the surrounding areas. The quaint jetty is bustling with activity as locals go about their daily routines. In the foreground, a row of colorful houses with gabled roofs line the shore, their windows reflecting the vibrant hues of the scene. A group of women in traditional Dutch costumes, complete with bonnets and yolks, can be seen unloading milk from a row of buckets onto the waiting ferry. The sight of these milkmaids, a common image from Dutch folklore, adds to the authenticity and charm of this idyllic scene. The backdrop of this tranquil tableau is a towering windmill, its sails turning gently in the breeze. The windmill, a symbol of Dutch ingenuity and resilience, stands proudly against the sky, a testament to the region's rich history and connection to the land. The calm waters of the canal mirror the clear blue sky above, creating a sense of serenity and peace. The ferry, with its simple design and wooden planks, adds to the rustic charm of this scene, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. This photograph, part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and tradition of Volendam and the Dutch way of life in the early 20th century.
