THE FISHWIFE OF MARKEN. R. JORDANS. Marken is a peninsula in the IJsselmeer, in the Netherlands and a former island in the Zuiderzee. For some time during the later 19th and early 20th centuries, Marken and its inhabitants were the focus of considerable attention by folklorists, ethnographers and physical anthropologists, who regarded the small fishing town as a relic of the traditional native culture that was destined to disappear as the modernization of the Netherlands gained pace

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing "The Fishwife of Marken" in all her traditional glory. The enchanting island of Marken, nestled within the IJsselmeer in the Netherlands, served as a captivating subject for artists and scholars alike during the 19th and early 20th centuries.

As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its significance as a testament to human history. This engraving serves as a window into an era long past—a tribute to those who dedicated themselves to preserving traditions before they faded away forever. Let this remarkable piece transport you to another time; immerse yourself in the beauty and charm that once thrived within Marken's shores.
