EDITORS COMMENTS
This terrific photographic postcard captures the essence of traditional Dutch milkmaid culture, as depicted in this stunning image from the 1910s. The milkmaid, dressed in her distinctive outfit, expertly carries two large milk pails balanced on a wooden yolk across her shoulders. The yolk, a common carrier for milkmaids in Holland and the Netherlands, is made of wood and features intricate chains that securely hold the pails in place. The milkmaid's hat, with its tall, pointed shape and wide brim, shields her from the sun as she goes about her daily chores. Her voluminous skirt, adorned with intricate patterns and ruffles, adds to the overall charm of the scene. The milk pails themselves are large and sturdy, with handles that allow the milkmaid to easily maneuver them as she makes her rounds. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history and traditions of Dutch milkmaid culture, a time when milk was still delivered door-to-door by local milkmaids dressed in their traditional attire. The image is a beautiful reminder of a bygone era, and the wooden yolk and milk pails continue to be cherished symbols of Dutch heritage and history.
