Traditional Market Day Costumes and Cheese Porters of West Friesland, c.1930
Located in Langweer, NL
Traditional Market Day Costumes and Cheese Porters of West Friesland, c.1930 This vibrant original lithograph, dating to around 1930, captures a dynamic and colorful scene of market life in West Friesland, a historic region in the Netherlands. The image depicts five figures dressed in traditional regional costumes: two cheese-porters in their iconic white summer suits and red straw hats, an older woman in black mourning dress, and a younger woman and girl in richly colored attire. This visual documentation reflects the customs as they were still worn on market days in the early 20th century, especially in towns such as Hoorn, once famed for its cheese trade. The men's costumes follow guild tradition, with color-coded hats—red in this case—signifying their porter group. Their white linen suits, black shoes, and strong physiques suggest the physical nature of their trade, carrying large wooden barrows stacked high with yellow cheeses. Their neutral clothing contrasts beautifully with the ornate regional dress of the women beside them. The older woman wears the *Hollandsche hul*, or Dutch hood, evolved from the 18th-century *schelpboedje* or shell hat. Her black ensemble is of 1840s bourgeois style, featuring a full-sleeved black cashmere gown with flowered silk *merino* apron. The double-stranded gold *kruisje ketting* necklace and cross pendant signal her Roman Catholic faith. The younger woman represents the exquisite full West Frisian costume worn only on Sundays or ceremonial occasions. Her headdress is layered: a fine linen under-cap, handmade lace inner cap, wide gold *oorijzer*, and elaborate starched black lace crown with goffered wings, requiring a wooden roller to stiffen. Her magenta dress...
