EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of daily life in the picturesque village of Volendam, Netherlands, circa 1934. Titled "Washing in the Zuider Zee" this image showcases a traditional occupation that was once common along the shores of this historic body of water. In the foreground, a woman dressed in her national costume diligently wrings out freshly laundered clothes into a bucket. Her apron and headgear are indicative of her role as a laundrywoman or washerwoman. The iconic wooden clogs on her feet further emphasize her Dutch heritage. The setting is enhanced by the presence of other women and girls engaged in similar tasks nearby. They stand on an old jetty overlooking the sea, with their vibrant traditional dresses creating a striking contrast against the monochrome backdrop. This photograph is part of an illustrated publication called "La Hollande" by Henry Asselin, which offers glimpses into various aspects of Dutch culture and geography during that time period. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation capturing everyday life in early 20th-century Netherlands. With its attention to detail and composition, this print transports viewers back to another era while highlighting the significance of domestic work within society. It provides us with valuable insights into not only the clothing styles but also the customs and occupations prevalent during that period in Volendam's rich cultural history.
