Photos Mr. Vink
The photos below were donated by Mr. and Mrs. Vos from Zwijndrecht. The photos originally belonged to Mr. Vink, also from Dordrecht, who traded in picture postcards and often went out with photographers to take photos in Dordrecht. These photos, originally 18 in total, were all taken after the May days of 1940 in Dordrecht. They mainly show the war damage caused during those days. What makes this collection particularly interesting is that the locations are noted on each photo. 1
