This vintage "Volendam" bottle label showcases vibrant artwork and detailed typography, designed for a "Geestrijke drank" (spirituous drink) from Schiedam. The central graphic features a jovial man in traditional Dutch attire, complete with wooden shoes and a cap, gleefully carrying an oversized bottle prominently labeled "Volendam" and "Schiedam." The background illustrates a picturesque Dutch landscape with a classic windmill and a sailboat on the water, evoking a strong sense of regional identity. The label's design incorporates a distinct yellow banner at the bottom, stating "Geestrijke drank" and providing the distributor's information: "J. DESMET - MAERTENS, Menensteenweg, 84, Rumbeke, Tel. Roeselare 653-H.R. 13491," indicating a Belgian origin. It also specifies the volume as "Inhoud 1/5 L." The printer is identified as "HR KORTRIJK 13 491," suggesting production in Kortrijk, Belgium. The reverse of the paper label shows traces of adhesive residue, indicating it was once affixed to a bottle.
