A variety of shops line a narrow coastal street in 1950s Holland. On the left side, there is a shoe store that displays a wide assortment of colorful women shoes. The shoes appear to be women's traditional clogs that have been painted a variety of colors and feature flower designs on them. On the opposite side of the road, there are a multitude of shops, such as a Pontiac clock store, a Kodak camera shop, and restaurants. Customers stand outside the shops and along the road, enjoying the view and what the shops have to offer. This photograph was taken on a sunny day, perfect to explore the shops of Holland and admire the seaside.
