Gezicht op de Appeldijk te Gorinchem c. 1900 - 1910

This silver gelatin print captures the Appeldijk in Gorinchem. I imagine Hidderley carefully framing this shot, thinking about the play of light and shadow on the cobblestone street. The composition is really striking. The way the buildings line the street, creating a sense of depth, draws you right in. And that lone figure walking in the distance? It makes you wonder about their story. It's so easy to get lost in the details. It feels like I’m walking alongside the artist, experiencing the world through their eyes. This photograph reminds me of other artists who have explored urban landscapes, like Eugène Atget. There’s a quiet beauty in the everyday, and Hidderley has captured it perfectly. It just shows how artists are constantly in conversation with each other, building on ideas and inspiring new ways of seeing.
