A rare hand-colored photograph from the early 19th century, scanned from an original glass negative in my possession. Two young rural boys stand side by side on a traditional Dutch farmyard, their wooden clogs firmly planted on the pavement. One boy has his arm draped affectionately over the other’s shoulder, both smiling warmly into the camera. The rustic backdrop of the farmhouse adds to the authenticity of the scene, while their joyful expressions transcend time.
The character of this antique image has been preserved intentionally — not all scratches and blemishes were retouched — adding to its historic charm and authenticity. A poignant portrayal of childhood friendship, reminding us that true companionship is timeless. Perfect for exhibitions, historical collections, or as a unique decorative piece with both cultural and emotional resonance.
The glass negative is my posession, so I hold all the rights.
