Onderdeel van fotoalbum met opnames van Volendam, Dordrecht, Gorinchem en Woudrichem c. 1900 - 1910

This photo album was made by G. Hidderley, but the date it was made is unknown. It is a dark in colour with a tight, textile surface, like an overcast sky. I’m always struck by how much work goes into the creation of these sorts of albums. Imagine how much time and effort the artist must have spent on this. It’s that sense of craft that really draws me in. You know, when you look at a handmade object and you can just feel the artist’s presence? I’m thinking about the relationship between the artist and the viewer and how we are always in dialogue with art as we bring our experiences to it. I think that, as artists, we are always having a conversation, and hopefully, people can join in and bring their own ideas to the table.
