The beautifully designed black and white photo book reflects on the village of Nederweert and its surroundings in the years 1950-1970. Those were the waning last days of prosperous Catholic life, after the reconstruction years and in the era of the baby-boom generation, photographed by Jef Kirkels (1919-1997).
Kirkels was the manager of the LLTB-Boerenbond [Farmers Union] and commander of the local fire brigade, but was also known as a highly accomplished amateur photographer. Of the thousands of black and white photographs he took from 1950 to 1970, several hundred have been selected for this beautiful photo book. The photographs are captioned with short historical explanations, and the foreword is by Gerard Kessels.
