Volendam Cap, Netherlands

Girls in Volendam costume crowd a market stall in 1934, their white lace caps rising to a point with winged sides. The Volendam women's cap, the hul, is the headdress most people picture when they think of Dutch costume, thanks to postcards from this fishing village on the old Zuiderzee. Daily wear has almost gone, but residents still put on the costume for festivals and celebrations, and visitors queue at local photo studios to be pictured in it.
