Theodoor Molkenboer’s work surveys the national and regional folk costumes of the Netherlands, documenting the distinctive traditional dress of Dutch provinces and communities. It records the caps, aprons, and ornaments that distinguished one region from another in an age before such costumes faded.
A valuable record of Dutch material culture and folk tradition, the book preserves the variety and meaning of regional dress. This work is in Dutch. It will most reward readers of the language, though its subject is of broad interest to costume historians. The text is offered here as a free EPUB download.
