Framed Print of The tourist in Holland: taking toll on a Dutch canal, 1881. Creator: Charles Olivier Murray
The tourist in Holland: taking toll on a Dutch canal, 1881. No words can describe the air of peace and tranquillity that seemed to surround these people, in their aquatic homes; the placidity of that floating existence, the apparent security and freedom of these wandering families, with their domestic animals, which become, as it were, amphibious...It is one of these Dutch market-boats, named De Vrouw Ida, or Lady Ida, with the boatman, his wife and child [and] his old mother, ...that is seen passing through a drawbridge on the canal...in the Sketch we have engraved. The man who keeps the drawbridge has swung it aside, to let the boat go past, but stands ready to take the small piece of money expected for his toll; and in order to receive this, it will be observed with some amusement, he has contrived an odd sort of pouch, simply an old shoe, hanging by a string from the stick which he holds in his hand. An English tourist watches this procedure from the road above, while two or three country people are quietly waiting till they can walk over the drawbridge. The quaint but handsome decoration of the house behind, and the trees on the quay or bank of the canal, add to the pleasing effect of this little scene in Holland'.
