Excerpt from Acta Victoriana, Vol. 36: April, 1912
Olland, the land of dykes and canals, is so unique, both in its natural and cultivated features that it is a haven of delight, even for the sated tourist. Artists never tire of pic turing her quaint windmills, canals, and costumes, while her great museums afford them a rare opportunity to study and enjoy an art which is unequalled in original conception and masterly execution. Architects seek in Holland a fresh inspira tion; engineers give their attention to her marvellous dykes; and business men study well her commerce. Besides, there is such a novelty about everything that the ennui of the tourist is to a great extent banished.
