The film is made for a Dutch audience as the intertitles indicate, and the production company was probably the Kinematograaf Pathé Frères, the Dutch subsidiary of Pathé. In fact Pathé opened its first Dutch branch in December 1905. The company not only sold its projection equipment there but also its own films.  For a number of years, Pathé was the only foreign subsidiary with a foothold in Holland.  Furthermore, the first Pathé cinema opened its doors in Amsterdam in July 1911. It was Evert Breman, who was also the architect of Jean Desmet's Cinema Palace the following year who was entrusted with building this cinema.

The reason for attributing the film to Pathé is given by the way the colour has been added to the film. At the time, a number of Pathé productions, whether fiction films or documentaries were coloured with pencils or stencils, a technique that bore the name of Pathé Coloris and that contributed to the company's international reputation. In 1920, Pathé was the only company in the Netherlands to use this technique.

Pictures like Hollandse tulpen en klompen were quite popular with foreign audiences. They fit well into the exotic cliché image of Holland which consists of farmers and fishermen walking around in traditional costumes and wooden shoes (‘klompen’), growing flowers or making cheese. Pictures showing a pure and simple countryside that contrasted the rapidly changing, industrial world.

Most of these pictures were made in small fishermen's towns Volendam and Marken. Both towns are situated in the neighbourhood of Amsterdam and had become real tourist resorts at the end of the nineteenth century. They also attracted lots of artists, and from the beginning of the twentieth century their picturesque qualities were also discovered by filmmakers. Already in 1899 Emile Lauste travelled to Marken to shoot a film commissioned by the Dutch associate of the Mutoscope Company. This movie is very similar to the second part of Hollandse Tulpen en Klompen which was shot more than some twenty years later.

The original music for this film was composed by Martin de Ruiter in 2009.
