<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 218121, member: 2844&quot;]I am Dutch too, and have a large collection of Dutch regional costumes. I have most publications on Dutch regional dress from Bing &amp; Braet onwards, including some Bing &amp; Braet/Frans Buffa publication original lithographs. I can assure you that from the 19th century till now there are no Dutch caps that look like that. Most white caps were worn over precious metal frames (oorijzers) anyway, you would at least see some gold glistening through the white.</p><p>The north of the country, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe, West Friesland, did have white kerchiefs for sunday dress, often over silk tops, but different caps, and this is nowhere near the flat, green north of The Netherlands.</p><p>It is also hard to find yellow stone and white-washed villages with red roofs and pale blue shutters in the few &#039;hilly&#039; areas we have.</p><p>And look at the way the roof of the first house on the left looks. A Dutchman would have repaired that straight away, after all, what would the neighbours think<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />!</p><p><br /></p><p>The combination of the yellow and white houses with pale blue shutters and lovely sloping roofs, the villagers and the landscape, reminds me very much of rural parts of Burgundy. Including the picturesque state of disrepair.</p><p>But I can&#039;t be 100% certain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
