Why do early films present the Netherlands as a country full of
canals and windmills, where people wear traditional costumes and
wooden shoes, while industries and modern urban life are all but
absent? Images of Dutchness investigates the roots of this visual
repertoire from diverse sources, ranging from magazines to tourist
brochures, from anthropological treatises to advertising trade
cards, stereoscopic photographs, picture postcards, magic lantern
slide sets and films of early cinema. This richly illustrated book
provides an in-depth study of the fascinating corpus of popular
visual media and their written comments that are studied for the
first time. Through the combined analysis of words and images, the
author identifies not only what has been considered Ytypically
DutchOE in the long nineteenth century, but also provides new
insights into the logic and emergence of national cliches in the
Western world.
