LOOSJES, A.
Hollands Arkadia, of Wandelingen in de Omstreeken van Haarlem.
In his 'Arkadia' Loosjes describes the surroundings of Haarlem and their history in the form of conversations between a fictitious group of walkers. At the same time, the makers intended the text and image as an ode to the greatness of the Dutch past.
