Vendors with barrows, corner of Nieuwmarkt/Geldersekade in Amsterdam 1904

This photograph by James Higson, taken in 1904, captures a bustling street scene in Amsterdam. The image depicts vendors with their barrows laden with goods, likely selling produce, at the corner of Nieuwmarkt and Geldersekade. The cobbled streets, brick buildings, and the figures dressed in period clothing create a snapshot of everyday life in early 20th-century Amsterdam. Higson, known for his street photography, often captured the working class and the scenes of daily life in cities. The photograph is a testament to the photographer's keen observation of the city's social dynamics and everyday life.
