EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ferry passengers, Laandam, 1898" captures a moment in time from the late 19th century. Taken by the talented artist James Batkin as part of his book of photographs taken in Holland and Belgium, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of ferry passengers during that era. The scene unfolds on a steamship ferry sailing through the waters of Laandam. The ship's funnel billows out smoke as it transports its diverse group of passengers across the water. Men and women can be seen scattered throughout the deck, engaged in conversation or observing their surroundings with curiosity. The Victorian fashion worn by both men and women adds an air of elegance to the scene. Women don long dresses adorned with intricate details while men sport formal suits and hats. Their presence on board reflects a society where travel was becoming more accessible to people from different walks of life. James Batkin's monochrome composition beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also hints at the social dynamics present during that period. This print serves as a valuable historical document, offering us an opportunity to step back in time and immerse ourselves in this fascinating moment from Dutch history.
