EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the essence of rural life in Zeeland, Netherlands around 1910. Three local girls, dressed in traditional Dutch costumes, pose playfully on the platform of a windmill. The girls wear long, full skirts, intricately patterned aprons, and white blouses, their hair neatly braided and adorned with ribbons. One girl holds a shawl around her shoulders, while another wears a scarf around her head, both typical accessories of the traditional Dutch costume. The windmill, a symbol of the Netherlands and its rich agricultural heritage, stands proudly in the background. Its tall, wooden structure and distinctive sails are a testament to the country's long history of windmill technology. The platform, or "kraak" in Dutch, was used for loading and unloading grain from the windmill. The girls' joyful expressions and the idyllic setting of the windmill in the rolling hills of Zeeland transport us back in time to a simpler era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique culture and traditions of the Netherlands, and the strong connection between its people and the land.
