Gracht met boten en huizen in Sneek c. 1905 - 1907

Folkert Idzes de Jong’s "Gracht met boten en huizen in Sneek" is a sepia-toned photograph taken in the early 20th century. The artwork depicts a canal in Sneek, Netherlands with several boats docked on either side. The scene is dominated by the water and the buildings along the canal. De Jong, a Dutch photographer known for his cityscapes, captures a peaceful moment in this idyllic Dutch town. The small size of the photograph makes it seem intimate, as if the viewer is standing on the bank of the canal. This photograph is a unique and fascinating glimpse into a time past, showcasing the everyday life of the Dutch people and their relationship with their waterways.
