Arrival by steamboat service in Boskoop center at the stop in front of Hotel Neuf, with in the background the Protestant church. Visiting the village criss-crossed by ditches, and bridges, with the Protestant village church (Dorpskerk) at the village street (Dorpstraat) on the left (west) side of the Gouwe river, and the Roman Catholic Saint John the Baptist church (Sint-Johannes de Doper kerk) on the other side of the Gouwe river. Flags in the village street there – now in 2023 called Gouwestraat – perhaps for one of the big exhibitions of the village flower and (fruit) tree growers, famous since 1911. That sign ‘Bergplaats voor rijwielen en automobielen’ – Storage area for bicycles and cars – is close to the ‘Tentoonstellingsgebouw” the Exhibition Building …as reported in a Gouda newspaper advertisement on a National flower exhibition June 1926 (Goudsche Courant , Monday 14 June 1926).
Original film published 1921 by the famous dutch cineast Willy Mullens with his Haghe Film factory. Edit from film scan published by Open Beelden | Beeld & Geluid.
