De Havenkom te Maassluis

De Havenkom te Maassluis

Anno 1900.

A classic Dutch view of a small town in Holland. 

The Protestant church from the Dutch Golden Age towers above the small canal houses on its island.

Fire, city renewal, ww2 bombardments and destruction. The Groote Kerk survived it all. Over half of the charming Dutch structures that can be seen along the water do not exist anymore.

Original size = 80cm by 40cm
