My mother was born in Duinbeek, near Oostkapelle and within biking distance from Middelburg.

1919 Netherlands was still an empire so that is not too crazy. I'd argue that even citizens of classical empires had a higher standard of living than many alive today. Actually, the Roman elite were so wealthy by today's standards they would be trillionairs. In short: decent wealth distribution is apparently very challenging when those trying to figure it out are presently rich themselves.

Thank you for this gem. I can place myself into this reality to feel the atmosphere, & be more intimate with the people; understand their mannerisms. Today we can see ourselves in video & understand what we look like from the outside. This era had no idea what their being looked and sounded like & therefore not so conscientious. Their being was different. They only knew one style, had no television to understand anything different or know what people in other countries even looked like. They were content to match each other to fit in & be the same & didn’t question why. They were educated with only what they knew & didn’t have enough culture or education to fight against it or dress differently. You’d be strange to be different. People co-existed better with less knowledge & one education to care enough to go against the mainstream.

It's embarrassing that these old cities are prettier, more elegant and livable than our dysfunctional ones today. Their simple and harder life was healthier than ours, and it's likely that they were happier than we are, too.

[@qopiqq3629]

Cities where more beatiful because after the war we were only interested in rebuilding quickly and cheaply because there where many homeless and there was no money due to the war. Before the war we already started building ugly houses, because the Dutch population skyrocketed. On youtube there is a film made by the american goverment called ''Know your ally, The Netherlands'' you can see the rebuilding and de simpler cost effective buildings take shape. They where happier from the tales i hear from the elders around here (i live in Zeeland) People were very friendly, if one man had a machine to plow the ground he went around the village and did that to every front porch, so people could easily grow some extra food. People also traded old stuff like clothing and pans, and traded fish for rabbits, or fruit and veggies depending on what kind of food the men gathered. But the work was very though and people died young to diseases.

That’s not what they were for, at least in the articles I’ve seen. Unless, of course, you have links to prove that they functioned as “sunglasses,” which would only be for peripheral vision. They certainly wouldn’t be at all functional, as a woman looking or walking into the east of a morning would have the sun directly in her eyes, despite her “sunglasses.” It literally takes seconds to verify or discredit our guesses....I’m always amazed when people clothe guesses as facts, without taking a few minutes on the Internet to see if they’re right!

[@springkikkertje]

Its not a precursor to sunglasses. Me and my ancestors are from zeeland. My grandma once explained that those gold pieces you see were part of the 'oorijzers' . Oor = ear and ijzer = iron.

And the metal pieces on front were for aesthetics, display of wealth, to show which island, polder or village you were from and what religion you had.
