Figure 1.-- Here we see a group of Dutch children all dcked out in folk costume for some kind of special occassion. thy my have been a school group. We guess that the horses are part of the special event. The photogrph is not dted, but we would guess it was taken in the late-1950s.

We notice Dutch children dressing up for special occassions in folk costumes. We are not sure just when these events began, meanoing when folk costumes began to be worn because the styles were no longer widelky wirn abd began to be seen as charming and poular as a nostalgic look at former times. This could be village festivals are even town events. We suspct tht there were also school events. But some seem to be coinducted in urban settings. Through the 1950s the costumes could be quite accurate down to the wooden shoes. We are not sure if that is the case today. Or how popular they are today. The children seen to be having fun in these events at least the examples we have seen through the 1950s.
