EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Windmill "De Zwaluw" in Burdaard, Friesland, the Netherlands. With a rich history dating back to 1875, this windmill originally served as both a corn and pearl barley mill, as well as a saw mill. However, tragedy struck in November 1972 when it was tragically struck by lightning and consumed by fire. Despite the devastation, the base and saw mill miraculously remained standing. The resilience of this iconic structure is beautifully captured in Frans Sellies' photograph. The image transports us to a time when windmills were not only functional but also symbols of Dutch heritage and craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to human determination and dedication. After years of careful restoration work that commenced in 1984, Windmill "De Zwaluw" was finally restored to its former glory by 1987. Today, it stands proudly against the backdrop of Friesland's picturesque landscape. Frans Sellies' skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this architectural marvel - from its towering sails gracefully turning with the wind to its sturdy foundation that has weathered countless storms throughout history. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates the spirit of preservation and celebrates our ability to revive pieces of our past for future generations to cherish.
