"Two men exchanging money with each other, after trading cows on the cowmarket, visible through the window".

It is a presentation in Purmerends Museum. When entering it, the window will show amateur/TV clips from 1950's till 1990 from the oldest market in the Netherlands."Koemarkt¨. The two men are dolls, dressed in 1950' s fashion. The transactions would be closed early in the morning around 5 am, settled with coffee first, gin later.

Reason for posting this. This cowmarktet is from 1645 AC. The main-market for cows and other animals in the area above Amsterdam. A lady today: " As young girl, I would come with my mother in schoolholidays to collect my father early in the morning. He would be tired, having too much coffee. Or not just coffee. This scene is exact what I have in my memories, Dad sitting there".
And, she saw her father walking in the video-collection from years ago.
Special.
