    I guess actually Flemish milk wagon. Dog drawn I see. And the chap in uniform does not so much look like he is making a purchase as he is noting something down. Perhaps he is an inspector of some sort?

    Getting a ticket for parking, or not being in possession of a licence to sell unpastuerised milk?
  • Willem said:
    Mystery solved. The inspector is writing her a ticket for serving milk from a crooked vial. This is revealed by the following postcard: www.flickr.com/photos/postkaartjes/438959601/ The inspector is measuring whether the vial she serves her customers milk from, does indeed serve half a litre or a litre, whatever the legal standard is.

    this is a wonderful shot! and the colors- were they restored?

    I was trying to think of a tag that said something like "beginning of women's liberation movement" but more concise- ideas?

  • Erwin said:
    Excellent photo! Love the colors. It blows my mind how this photo survived with great colors! I enjoy the color match of her lipstick and the pen in her hand. I also like the history..how people dressed back then and actually "dolled" up for work like this woman in the 40's.

    You're getting a little too friendly there Gomer. I wonder where his right hand is.

    "Girl Inspector" official title?
  • dracpod said:
    awesome!
  • technogeo said:
    The manual the woman is holding appears to have a German title. A-20B Data IV. VORDERKUNZ (?) (forward post?) It may be an obsolete technical word. Her left index finger is badly bruised and bandaged. The man is wearing an Auxiliary Police badge. There's probably a story here.
