What's that saying, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"?

Food inspector at the fishmarket in Amsterdam 1926. The crease in the inspector's hat is held together with a crease clip. By the looks on the faces these were the days when taking a picture was an event. Thanks by the way to HadleyH1 and 2Jakes who keep coming up with these great old pictures lately.
