Straatgezicht in Volendam c. 1900 - 1910

"Straatgezicht in Volendam" is a sepia-toned photograph taken by G. Hidderley sometime between 1900 and 1910. The photograph captures a street scene in the Dutch town of Volendam, with a row of traditional brick houses lined up along a canal. Laundry hangs on a line in the foreground, suggesting a typical day in the life of the town’s inhabitants. The houses themselves have distinctive gable roofs and windows, a common architectural feature in the Netherlands, particularly in the region of Volendam. This image showcases the simplicity and charm of Dutch village life around the turn of the 20th century, as captured through a photographic lens.
