This 1950s postcard captures a couple in traditional Volendam dress standing on a brick quay, with historic Dutch ships docked behind them and charming houses across the water. The man wears a black suit and cap, while the woman is dressed in a classic white bonnet and striped skirt, an attire long associated with this iconic village. Located just 20 kilometers northeast of Amsterdam, Volendam sits along the shores of Markermeer Lake and is known for its colorful houses, old harbor, and fishing heritage.
This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
