Gezicht op de botterwerf in Monnickendam c. 1900 - 1910

This black and white photograph by G. Hidderley, taken between 1900 and 1910, shows a view of the botterwerf in Monnickendam. The photograph depicts a peaceful scene with a small boat in the foreground and several boats tied up to the wharf. It is a classic example of a genre known as "veduta," where the photographer captures a particular place with a focus on its architectural details and the activities that occur there. The photo, with its high contrast and clear detail, provides a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of a Dutch fishing village.
