EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s in the picturesque region of Twente, Netherlands. The image showcases a unique fusion of a kitchen and living-room, seamlessly blending two essential spaces into one cozy setting. Illustrated by Henry Asselin for his book "La Hollande" this snapshot captures the essence of Dutch domestic life during that era. In this charming scene, we see a woman dressed in traditional costume engrossed in her daily tasks. She stands near a rustic fireplace adorned with various trinkets on its mantelpiece. With her headgear or cap firmly in place, she skillfully peels vegetables while preparing a meal for her family. Adding warmth to the room is an adorable feline companion perched nearby, observing every movement with curiosity. The presence of animals was not uncommon in Dutch households at the time, adding an extra touch of charm to everyday life. The simplicity and authenticity portrayed through this image evoke feelings of nostalgia and appreciation for traditional customs. It offers us a glimpse into the past when kitchens were bustling hubs filled with love and laughter. This remarkable print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of life in rural Netherlands during the early 20th century. It reminds us that even amidst modern advancements, there is beauty found within simplicity and tradition.
