Het water - Schoonheid van ons land

Seas, lakes, rivers, canals and harbours form the setting for photographs of the Dutch landscape and people at work in the post-war Netherlands. The selection brings waterside landscapes and working life together, with photographs accompanied by prose and poetry by Dutch writers. Evert Zandstra contributes the main text. Alongside the principal photographic contribution are images by Nol Binsbergen, Carel Blazer, Kees Hana, Annelies Romein and Ad Windig, as well as ANP. The book belongs to a series devoted to the country's landscapes and culture, in which it forms the seventh volume. J. van Krimpen designed the typography, and the photographs are reproduced in gravure on woodfree paper.
