Spectators on the boulevard - Zandvoort, 1941
A rare glimpse into Dutch beach life during the early 1940s.
This photo from the series Het Leven shows three elegantly dressed ladies - in bathing suits and summer attire - among the spectators at trotting races on Zandvoort's boulevard.
Heritage Value
The shot is more than a snapshot: it captures the atmosphere of a time when relaxation and sport took place amid the looming shadow of war. The image tells a story of style, resilience and the desire for normality. The reportage of The Life documents not only sports, but also fashion, social customs and the rhythm of a coastal town in 1941.
