1575 Amsterdam Based Distillery Established Lucas Originally Reception Shed Unattributed 1921

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1921, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Erven Lucas Bols, an Amsterdam-based distillery with origins dating back to 1575. The image showcases the reception room of this historic establishment, which was originally housed inside a wooden shed. Erven Lucas Bols, which translates to 'Established by Lucas Bols,' is one of the oldest distilleries in the world. Its founding predates the Dutch East India Company by over two decades, making it a significant part of the Netherlands' cultural heritage. The reception room, adorned with ornate wooden panels and intricate detailing, exudes an air of sophistication and tradition. The room's centerpiece is a large, ornate fireplace, which would have provided warmth and comfort during the colder months. The room's high ceilings and large windows allow ample natural light to filter in, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. Despite its age, Erven Lucas Bols has remained at the forefront of the distilling industry, continuously refining its production methods and expanding its product range. Today, the distillery is renowned for its iconic Bols Genever, a traditional Dutch spirit that has been produced since the 18th century. This photograph, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and charm of Erven Lucas Bols and its storied reception room.
