EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Donald McLeish in 1936, transports us to the picturesque village of Marken in Holland. The image showcases a group of Dutch people proudly donning their traditional attire, including the iconic wooden clogs that have become synonymous with Dutch culture. The composition captures both young and old members of the community, highlighting the intergenerational transmission of customs and traditions. The women are seen wearing aprons over their dresses, while adorning lace headpieces known as caps. The men sport hats and sturdy clothing that reflects their practical lifestyle. Standing at a doorway against a backdrop of charming houses, this photograph encapsulates the essence of Dutch heritage. It serves as a visual testament to the preservation of cultural identity amidst changing times. Donald McLeish's artistic eye beautifully portrays not only the physical appearance but also the spirit and pride embedded within these individuals' national costume. Through his lens, he immortalizes an era when tradition was cherished and celebrated. This remarkable piece is part of "Peoples of the World in Pictures" edited by Harold Wheeler and published by Odhams Press Ltd in London during 1936. Its inclusion in this collection signifies its significance as an important representation of global cultures during that time period. As we gaze upon this timeless snapshot from history, we are reminded to appreciate our roots and honor those who came before us – for it is through understanding our past that we can truly embrace our present identities.
