A Right Merry Xmas To You - Dutch Children Posting Cards in the Snow - Early 20th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the spirit of the holiday season in the Netherlands during the early 1900s. The image shows a group of Dutch children bundled up against the cold winter weather, standing around a red pillar mailbox, ready to post their Christmas cards. The snow-covered ground adds to the festive atmosphere, making this scene a quintessential representation of the Dutch winter. The children, dressed in traditional Dutch costumes, are seen wearing clogs, which are a staple of Dutch footwear. Some children are holding balloons, adding a playful touch to the image. In the background, a horse-drawn cart and a windmill can be seen, emphasizing the rural setting and the country's rich agricultural heritage. The children's faces are filled with excitement and anticipation as they prepare to send their Christmas greetings to loved ones near and far. The act of posting cards was an essential part of the holiday tradition, allowing families and friends to stay connected despite the distances that separated them. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Florence Hardy, is a beautiful reminder of the simple joys of the holiday season and the enduring traditions that bring people together. The image is a testament to the power of connection and the importance of expressing love and warmth to those we care about, even in the coldest of winters. The children's cheerful expressions and the festive setting make this photograph a must-have for any collection of holiday images or for those who appreciate the history and traditions of the Netherlands during the early 20th century.
