The beautiful province of Zeeland in The Netherlands in 1919 in color! Part-1 [Enhanced & colorized]

The province of Zeeland consists of a number of large islands in the South-West of The Netherlands. Part-1 of this film shows the simple and hard rural life of its inhabitants more than a century ago in 1919. At the time nearly all of them wore the traditional dress. Characteristic are the two small golden reflectors that are worn at the side of the women's caps. Some viewers have jokingly brandmarked them as satellite solar panels. A tradition was to "coupe" horse's tails and beautify them with ribbons to be shown-off at local horse shows. Zeeland was and is primarily an agricultural area of The Netherlands. In the film women can be seen picking various fruit including goose berries. Zeeland has had a long fight with the sea. Dikes and dunes often were not high or strong enough causing Zeeland to be flooded often during many centuries until in the 1960's the Dutch government executed the "Delta plan". This involved closing-off the waters between the islands from the sea by means of large dams and huge sea locks. In recent years it has become apparent that this is prohibiting fish like salmon to swim up the Dutch and German rivers to sperm. Therefore some of the sealockes are now opened slightly to let them pass through. Music: 'Whales Of The North' by Vadim Krakhma Source: Beeld en Geluid.
