"Eisenhower in Den Haag" is a photograph album page from the Rijksmuseum containing six black and white snapshots, taken in 1945, capturing the aftermath of World War II in the Netherlands. The page depicts General Eisenhower, a central figure in the Allied victory, traveling in a car surrounded by crowds, and an array of daily life scenes, including people standing on a street, a group of women standing in front of a building, and a soldier walking by destroyed buildings. This album page provides an intimate glimpse into the social and physical landscape of the Netherlands in the immediate post-war period, capturing both the hope and the devastation of the time.
