Portret van twee mannen in Volendamse klederdracht, zittend aan een tafel c. 1900 - 1910

G. Hidderley captured these two men in Volendamse attire seated at a table, in a monochrome photograph. I wonder what it was like for Hidderley to capture this quiet moment. The details are so telling, aren't they? The way the light catches on their worn faces, the texture of their traditional clothing. It feels like Hidderley wanted to preserve a piece of everyday life, something that might otherwise go unnoticed. There's an intimacy in the composition. Those hats, those wooden shoes! Hidderley’s image, in its quiet way, becomes a part of the ongoing conversation about how we see and remember each other.
