Every day we ship products big and small around the world, so what struck us wasn't the Netherlands address tag on this beautiful framed print, but the image itself! We asked the photographer, James Oliver of Jofotografie, and this is the beautiful story he told us…

"A year or so after moving to the Netherlands to be with my Dutch wife, I created a series of photographs as a gift for her grandfather, Oene Onijdes, for his 75th birthday. That was about seven years ago. At the time he still worked as a potato farmer, and continued to do so for years to come. This was his shed, where he kept his equipment and the potatoes before selling them (or leaving a sack for us outside our front door). After work he would sit in his chair, the doors open, watching over the street.

On 23 May last year he passed away at the grand old age of 81. He was a great man and is dearly missed! The family choose this photo for the funeral card. This picture will be a gift to one of Oene Onijdes's daughters from her boyfriend."

The image is presented as a 'torn edge' fine art print, floating in a Shadow Box Frame.

Thank you James for sharing this story with us.
