Twee foto's familie Van den Berg tijdens een wandeling in Duitsland 1932

These two black and white photographs of the Van den Berg family on a walk in Germany were taken by Frank Willem van den Berg. The casual nature of these photographs provide a glimpse into a moment of leisure and family connection. There is an interesting contrast here. In the upper photograph, the men are relaxing on a hill. In the lower photograph, two women are walking away from the camera. The representation of gender roles at the time this photograph was taken highlights the traditional expectations placed on men and women. The black and white tones evoke a sense of nostalgia, inviting us to reflect on the passage of time and the enduring nature of family bonds. These photographs serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving our personal histories and celebrating the moments that shape our identities.
