EDITORS COMMENTS
A Young Dutch Girl in Traditional Costume, Tending to Geese (circa 1905) This enchanting photograph captures the image of a young Dutch girl in traditional attire, as she goes about her evening chores, tending to her geese near a harbor or dock. The girl, dressed in the traditional Dutch costume, wears a high-waisted, full skirt made of heavy, dark fabric, adorned with intricate patterns and ruffles. Her blouse is white and collared, with long, lace sleeves that extend down to her wrists. A red apron covers her skirt, and a white bonnet sits atop her head, secured with a ribbon. The scene takes place in a late evening, with the sun setting over the harbor, casting a warm, golden light over the girl and the geese. She holds a long stick in one hand, using it to guide the geese towards a pen or enclosure. In the other hand, she carries a net or bag, likely to collect the eggs. The girl's expression is focused and determined, as she goes about her work, unperturbed by the setting sun or the approaching darkness. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural traditions of the Netherlands, showcasing the unique style and clothing of the Dutch people during this time period. The image is a testament to the hardworking nature of the Dutch people, who relied on agriculture and livestock rearing for their livelihoods. The harbor or dock setting adds to the scene's charm, as it underscores the importance of the waterways and ports in Dutch life and commerce.
