Interieur van landhuis De Wildbaan met jachttrofeeën aan de muur 1903 - 1907

This photograph, taken between 1903 and 1907 by Dutch photographer Henry Pauw van Wieldrecht, captures the interior of a country house called "De Wildbaan" (meaning "The Wild Track"). The image showcases the opulent, yet slightly morbid, taste of its inhabitants. The walls are adorned with a multitude of taxidermied animal heads and furs, including a large moose head with impressive antlers, a wild boar, and various deer. These hunting trophies speak volumes about the leisure activities and social status of the house's occupants. The photograph is a valuable document of the hunting culture and interior design of the early 20th century in the Netherlands.
