This anonymous photograph, taken sometime between 1940 and 1945, captures a scene of daily life in the Netherlands during World War II. The image shows a group of farmers, their cart laden with cows and horses, crossing a set of train tracks. The use of animals for transportation and labor was common in rural areas at this time. The photograph provides a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during a period of great upheaval and hardship. The photograph, measuring 60 mm by 90 mm, is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offering a visual insight into the realities of life under wartime conditions.
